Re: XML Style Sheet PI and fragment IDs

/ Paul Grosso <pgrosso@arbortext.com> was heard to say:
| In particular:
|
| 1.  I would think an href could use a fragment identifier on
|     a URI reference that points to another document.
|
| 2.  If the resource identified by the href value's URI ref
|     is of type XML (whether the URI ref points to the local
|     document or not), then I'd expect the fragment identifier
|     to be an XPointer.
|
| 3.  If the type pseudo-attribute's value is text/css, then I
|     would expect the href URI reference to point either to 
|     something that could be parsed as an HTML <style> element
|     or the contents of an HTML <style> element.  If the 
|     (sub-)resource identified by the href URI ref contains
|     anything else (e.g., other elements), I'd expect one would
|     do whatever would happen if one found such things as children
|     of the <style> element (which, since it can't happen, is
|     presumably an error); but if the HTML WG wishes to say merely
|     to ignore any such children, that would be fine too.
|
| I don't have a problem with the HTML group making further
| restrictions for use of the xml-stylesheet PI with respect
| to HTML/XHTML UAs as long as no one suggests such restrictions
| are derived from anything in the xml-stylesheet spec itself.
|
| Finally, I just stuck my neck out and said these things on
| my own.  The XML Core WG may well disagree with me--we'll
| find out.

I agree with your analysis.

                                        Be seeing you,
                                          norm
