Hi all, maybe you have already noticed that there was small error found two weeks ago in the schema and one test file. For lineBreakType datacategory (http://www.w3.org/TR/its20/#storagesize) the specification allows three values -- "cr", "lf" and "crlf". Unfortunately schema contained typo and had "lr" value instead of "lf" present. Also schema contained additional value "nel" which was dropped during the specification development. Fix in schema is easy and has been already done in the repository. However there is a risk that such change will be perceived as substantial and another last call will be needed instead of fixing small error in schema and publishing final recommendation. Currently appendix D with schemas is marked as normative and change in schema thus might be perceived as substantive. One way to diminish this risk is to make this appendix informative. Actually if you will take time to read conformance section (http://www.w3.org/TR/its20/#conformance-product-processing-expectations) there is no reference to schemas in appendix D, there is just written that markup *may* be valid against schema conforming to markup declarations in section 8. Also it is not very good to have one thing defined normatively in two places -- it's not clear which definition has precedence in case of discrepancies. Again marking appendix D as informative will solve this. My suggestion is thus to fix schemas and mark appendix D as informative (non-normative). If you disagree please provide your preferred solution to this issue so we can discuss and decide during Wednesday call.
