Can somebody help me?
Joe seems to be proposing that if we
* restrict PIs and comments to element content
* restrict mixed-content-models to "|"
* disallow inclusion exceptions
then we can reduce the RS/RE handling rules to "Robert's Rules" ( =) ) of
In data content:
1. If an element begins or ends with a newline [not entirely
accurate, but this is what people see], the newline is ignored.
2. Newlines inside markup are ignored.
3. All other newlines are passed on.
Is this really the case? Is this simplification an option?
