Data Model Section 7 (Atomic Values): The fifth paragraph contains a bullet list that talks about the "value of a node" and how it is "represented". This material belongs in the sections on element and attribute nodes, since these are the kinds of nodes that have values, and they represent them in different ways. But the terminology in these bullets is inconsistent with the rest of the document. Element and attribute nodes have various properties, but none of these properties are named "value". For example, an element node has "children", and an attribute has a "string value". But neither of these properties has the appropriate type for these rules. Perhaps these rules are trying to explain how the typed value of an element node is derived from the content of its child text nodes? Or how the typed value of an attribute node is derived from its "string value" property? In any case, the terminology of these rules needs to be fixed and the rules need to be moved to the appropriate section.
