[Bug 5441] [SER] Text output method and normalization-form

http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=5441





------- Comment #2 from zongaro@ca.ibm.com  2008-03-13 19:28 -------
At the XSL WG teleconference of 2008-03-13,[3] Michael Kay proposed that,
rather than introduce method-specific behaviour in the sequence normalization
process of Section 2, we should modify the "Markup generation" step of the
"Phases of Serialization" described in section 4 to produce a new document node
with a single text node child in the case of the text output method.  The
following change is needed to implement that proposal:

In section 4, in the second item in the item in the outermost list, change "In
the case of the text output method, this phase has no effect" to "In the case
of the text output method, this phase replaces the single document node
produced by sequence normalization with a new document node that has exactly
one child that is a text node.  The string value of the new text node is the
string value of the document node that was produced by sequence normalization."

In section 8,[2] in the first paragraph change "the document node created by
sequence normalization" to "the document node created by the 'markup generation
step' of the phases of serialization...."
