Re: Last Call Working Draft of MathML 2.0, 2nd edition published

Bill,

Thank you for your comment.

  http://www.openmath.org/cd/setname1.ocd

  this is ambiguous as it stands, since that CD holds definitions of six
  symbols. The example would be more accurately (unambiguously) stated as:


I think that the existing examples are technically correct (The
semantics of definitionURL are sufficiently flexible to allow a single
URI to cover different symbol definitions) however it would be clearer
if they were separated.

You suggested

 definitionURL="http://www.openmath.org/cd/setname1.ocd#N"

Which is the form used already in some of the OM -> MathML conversion
scripts, however openmath.org serves .ocd files as text/plain so that
you get a "source view", and the browser doesn't scroll to the
definition of N if you follow that link.

We propose to use

 definitionURL="http://www.openmath.org/cd/setname1#N"

without any explict extension as an abstract identifier for this symbol.
The server at openmath.org (now!) will redirect that to the html form

http://www.openmath.org/cd/setname1.html#N

where the fragment identifier #N will work as expected and scroll the
view to the symbol N.

I hope this is acceptable. As this is a "last call" comment, please
acknowledge on the list if it is (or isn't) as we need to record the
resolution of all comments as part of the process of moving the document
on to the next stage.

Thanks again for your careful review,

David
