A response I sent to Paul Grosso, after he had responded to Bert Bos who incorrectly thought that entities did not appear in the DOM. % >Regarding the untransformed, off-the-wire, document instance tree/dag % >(which the DOM is calling the initial structure model), there are NO % >declarations or replacement texts in the instance, just entity references. % % I'm not sure this is correct. In the DOM, entity refrences are % indicated by an EntityStart and EntityEnd pair, or at least were. % The important things that the DOM must define are: % % 1) Some way of indicating that an entity was referenced % 2) Some way of getting at the replacement text/NDATA % 3) Some way of allowing entities to be lazily resolved. % % I will be reviewing the DOM draft today, and expect to have a % substantial number of suggestions based on the quick scan I did % of it this morning. % % %
