The fact that ancestor xml:base declarations would be absent from a serialized subset seems to be a cause for surprise. However, I believe this is the intent of exclusive canonicalization unless we wanted to make exceptions for certain types of xml:foo -- which I would not support. It's an interesting concern though and I don't recall myself thinking about it too much beyond xml:lang . ---------- Forwarded Message ---------- Subject: Re: Last Call: Exclusive Canonical XML Date: Wed, 21 Nov 2001 09:53:15 -0500 From: Joseph Reagle <reagle@w3.org> To: Philippe Le Hegaret <plh@w3.org> Cc: chairs@w3.org On Tuesday 20 November 2001 15:36, Philippe Le Hegaret wrote: > The DOM Level 3 Load and Save draft is using the Canonical XML spec > in order to serialize a DOM node (see the feature "format-canonical" > in the DOMWriter interface [1]).

This is true. xml:* declarations need to occur within the utilized (in the XPATH selection) nodes if they are to be serialized. -- Joseph Reagle Jr. http://www.w3.org/People/Reagle/ W3C Policy Analyst mailto:reagle@w3.org IETF/W3C XML-Signature Co-Chair http://www.w3.org/Signature/ W3C XML Encryption Chair http://www.w3.org/Encryption/2001/ ------------------------------------------------------- -- Joseph Reagle Jr. http://www.w3.org/People/Reagle/ W3C Policy Analyst mailto:reagle@w3.org IETF/W3C XML-Signature Co-Chair http://www.w3.org/Signature/ W3C XML Encryption Chair http://www.w3.org/Encryption/2001/
