Following http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Member/chairs/2001JanMar/0058.html here is the review of the DOM WG. 1- The following paragraph in the Infoset specification suggests that the DOM Level 1 childNodes attribute is not well specified. [[[ Note: The XML Information Set does not include a [children] property for attributes. The childNodes attribute provided by the Document Object Model, Level 1 Core Recommendation [DOM] is not completely and consistently specified; it cannot be the normalized value since it may contain entity references, but if it is the unnormalized value it does not contain the information about character references needed for normalization. Furthermore, DOM implementations vary in their interpretation of the attribute. The XML Core Working Group has decided that it is therefore not useful to specify a corresponding property in the XML Information Set. ]]] -- XML Information Set http://www.w3.org/TR/2001/WD-xml-infoset-20010202/#infoitem.attribute Wed, 31 Jan 2001 22:18:31 GMT We encourage the Infoset specification to be based on the DOM Level 2 Core instead (see also [1]). Not being able to expose the child nodes of an attribute will result in a partial exposure of the entity start marker information items. 2- [[[ Though feedback is solicited on the entire specification, there is one area where the WG did not have consensus and on which feedback is particularly desired. Sections 2.16 and 2.17 of the spec define cdata start and end marker information items. The WG could not reach consensus on whether these two info items should be left in the spec or deleted from it. ]]] -- chairs@w3.org from January to March 2001: XML Information Set e http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Member/chairs/2001JanMar/0058.html Sat, 03 Feb 2001 00:24:47 GMT We strongly encourage the WG to keep the cdata start and end marker information items in the Infoset document since these informations are exposed in the DOM. 3- The Infoset document doesn't say anything about non well formed entities in http://www.w3.org/TR/2001/WD-xml-infoset-20010202/#infoitem.entity.unparsed Philippe [1] http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Member/w3c-dom-ig/1999Oct/0051.html
