Forwarding to XML Core with permission. paul -----Original Message----- From: Thomas Roessler [mailto:tlr@w3.org] Sent: Tuesday, 2007 August 21 10:55 To: Grosso, Paul; Norman.Walsh@Sun.COM Cc: w3c-xml-cg@w3.org; Sean.Mullan@Sun.COM Subject: Clarification sought re C14N11 Paul, Norm, Sean Mullan (CCed) noticed [3] that the C14N 1.1 CR [1] can be read in a way that would copy inheritable attributes to all children of an element if that element's parent have been removed. That behavior would be different from the one in C14N 1.0 [2]. The relevant change is in section 2.4, where the language was changed from: The processing of an element node E MUST be modified slightly when an XPath node-set is given as input and the element's parent is omitted from the node-set. to: The processing of an element node E MUST be modified slightly when an XPath node-set is given as input and some of the element's ancestors are omitted from the node-set. We are wondering whether this is an intentional change, and the behavior sketched at [3] is desired, or whether this was an inadvertent change, and the text is meant to describe the behavior known from C14N 1.0. Preliminary discussion seems to suggest that people are leaning toward the latter interpretation; in that case, it might be worth cleaning up the text while considering CR feed-back. Your guidance would be most welcome, to ensure that the right kind of guidance is provided to implementors in preparation for the interop event. 1. http://www.w3.org/TR/2007/CR-xml-c14n11-20070621/ 2. http://www.w3.org/TR/xml-c14n 3. http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-xmlsec-maintwg/2007Aug/0049.h tml Regards, -- Thomas Roessler, W3C <tlr@w3.org> +33-4-89063488
