Hi Bjoern, +1 to your proposal. Le 18 juil. 2005, à 18:46, Bjoern Hoehrmann a écrit : > Common information for an element would be which attributes it may > have, > which attributes are required, the syntax for the attribute values, > which elements may/must nest inside such an element and in which order, > include schema fragments and if, which schema language(s), and so on. That would help in many ways to have a common way of describing the things in the specification. It would help to extract information automatically, maybe to generate constraints for schemas, etc. or the opposite from schema to doc. > an author trying to understand such a complex compound document format > is certainly not helped having to deal with a dozen of different ways > to describe conceptually very similar things. Agreed :) You mentionned Elements and attributes, do you limit your thoughts to XML languages? It's a tricky thing. I'm trying to think about something which is a marker (not giving it the name of elements) in a language, etc. * <Something> has <parameters> with <values> * <Something> has <dependencies> with others <Something> * <Something> has <semantic constraints> * <Something> has <implementation constraints> -- Karl Dubost - http://www.w3.org/People/karl/ W3C Conformance Manager *** Be Strict To Be Cool ***
