Re: [Serial] I18N WG last call comments [11] (qt-2004Feb0362-08)

Hello Henry,

The I18N WG has looked at the response below.

We looked at two documents:
       http://www.w3.org/TR/2003/WD-xslt-xquery-serialization-20031112/
       http://www.w3.org/TR/2004/WD-xslt-xquery-serialization-20040723/
The LC version says 'value is implementation defined'.
The new WD doesn't even say that (or we haven't found it).
Your email below is written as if it was 'yes' by default.
We think that (default 'yes') would be the right thing to do.
If the spec indeed uses 'yes' as the default, please send
us a pointer to the place where it does. If not, we would not
be satisfied with this resolution.

Regards,    Martin.
