The parenthetical comment "(< can also be used for <, but this is not required in attribute values, only in token element content.)" in the fifth paragraph of section 2.3.3 "Math ML Attribute Values" is not correct. [10] "AttValue" of the XML Specification defines the permissible characters that can occur in an attribute value specification as '"' ([^<&"] | Reference)* '"' | "'" ([^<&'] | Reference)* "'" This means the following: * If " is used to delimit the attribute value specification, the " character can not occur in the the attribute value specification (though the ' character can). * If ' is used to delimit the attribute value specification, the ' character can not occur in the the attribute value specification (though the " character can). * The & can occur in an attribute value specification only as part of a general entity reference or a character reference. * The < character can never occur in any attribute value specification as such (i.e., directly entered from the keyboard). Moreover, the < character can only be provided in an attribute value specification by a "<" reference according to the Well-Formedness Constraint "No < in Attribute Values" accompanying [41] "Attribute" in the XML Specification. Delete the above parenthetical comment and change the preceding sentence in the fifth paragraph from In particular, the characters ", ', and & can be included in MathML attribute values (when permitted by the attribute value syntax) using the entity references ", ' and & respectively. to In particular, the characters ", ', & , and < can be included in MathML attribute values (when permitted by the attribute value syntax) using the entity references ", ', &, and < respectively.
