Peter, please be so good as to review the document.itself, not the change list, which is not worded carefully and is intended only to be a guide to the changes made in the document. If you would prefer, I could provide you with a copy with the change list deleted. Pat >However, Section 3 of the document Semantics has no mention of the fact >that XML literals denote themselves. It also says that is ``is >deliberately agnostic as to whether or not XML data is considered to be >identical to a character string'', which is in direct contradiction to the >wording in the change list. > >So, I do not feel that my concerns in this area have been adequately >addressed. > >Peter F.
