RE: IBM-DM-008: "version" and "standalone" properties

I don't think we should preserve the version and leave the version
handling to the parser on input and the serialization on output.
Otherwise you get into issues such as combining data model instances
that mix 1.0 and 1.1 elements etc.

 

Best regards

Subject: IBM-DM-008: "version" and "standalone" properties

 


Data Model Section 6.1 (Document Nodes): XML documents have "version"
and "standalone" declarations. Do these declarations affect the data
model in any way? Do these declarations have any interaction with the
"version" parameter of serialization? Some combinations do not seem to
make any sense. For example, can an input document in XML Version 1.1 be
serialized using XML Version 1.0? Does the data model need to record the
XML version from which it was derived?
