Notice: as stated in [1], I'd like to publish [2] as a second W3C last call
on Monday. I believe the error Anli pointed out [3] needs to remedied. I'm
hesitant to make a change without John, but he's on holiday. I think the
right text would be to include the following /+ fragment +/:
__
Namespace and Attribute Nodes- a space, the node's QName, an equals sign, an
open double quote, the modified string value, and a close double quote. The
string value of the node is modified by replacing all ampersands (&) with
&, /+ all open angle brackets (<) with <, +/ all double quote
characters with ", and the whitespace characters #x9, #xA, and #xD,
with character references. The character references are written in uppercase
hexadecimal with no leading zeroes (for example, #xD is represented by the
character reference
).
__
However, I'm unclear about not also including /+ all closing angle brackets
(>) are replaced by > +/ and about normalizing single-quote characters
(') with "'"... So, if someone implementing this C14N wants to
authoritatively speak on the topic, that'd be good. Then we can try to move
forward -- particularly given this is a public WG and this is the second
Last Call, it makes sense not to draw out a WG last call and public last
call IMHO ...
