Norman Walsh scripsit: > I've updated the xml:id specification per our discussions at the XML > Core WG telcon today: > > http://www.w3.org/XML/Group/2004/xmlcore/xmlid/xml-id.html Thanks for the quick turnaround, Norm. A few editorial notes: 1) The must-within-must and must-within-should wording in section 4 is confusing. I suggest the following: An xml:id processor must assure that the following statements hold for all xml:id attributes: * The normalized value of each xml:id attribute is a valid NCName. * If the type of an xml:id attribute is specified using a validation technology, the type is 'ID'. An xml:id processor should assure that the following statement holds for xml:id attributes: * All values of type )B�ID� within a document are unique. 2) The "Strictly speaking" in the definition of validation is a hangover from earlier drafts, and the definition of validation isn't actually marked up as a definition. -- He played King Lear as though John Cowan <jcowan@reutershealth.com> someone had played the ace. http://www.ccil.org/~cowan --Eugene Field http://www.reutershealth.com
