RE: FW: Transition Request: First Public Working Group Note (x2)

In planning to send on these comments, I came up with a question below.

For easy reference again, the spec in question is at
http://www.w3.org/TR/2009/NOTE-sml-xlink-ref-scheme-20090616/

Here is point 1:

 1.  An SML reference is identified as an instance of the SML XLink
     Reference Scheme if and only if all of the following conditions are
true:

    a.  It has an attribute information item whose [local name] is type,
        whose [namespace name] is http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink, and
        whose content is the string simple.

    b.  It has an attribute information item whose [local name] is href,
        and whose [namespace name] is http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink.

Unless I'm very confused [always possible] I would think we'd want
to remove 1a, not 1b.

John?
