Eric, Could you explain in a bit more detail how you think this would work ? As far as I understand, this would require one XSLT transformation per language that states which attributes should be converted into Xlinks. The schema-based solution only requires one Schema with subtype-definitions that can be reused in many languages. But I guess it's better to postpone a discussion until the note is actually public - Daniel, any idea when this will be ? Maybe you can already make the draft that you have today public, and then potentially update it based on discussions. -Philipp Eric van der Vlist a écrit : > > Philipp Hoschka wrote: > > > > Eric van der Vlist a écrit : > > > > > > Philipp Hoschka wrote: > > > > > > > Such a solution is currently under development > > > > http://www.w3.org/XML/Group/2000/09/NOTE-xlink-naming.html > > > > > > Is it possible to make this page public to allow non members to get an > > > idea of what is actually proposed ? > > > > The document will be published as a note, once it has been finished. > > I don't think it is finished right now, so we can't do this right away. > > However, it is already available to W3C members, i.e. quite a > > few people. > > I was just wanting to check an idea which I'll have to submit more > blindly then... > > Wouldn't a XSLT transformation be a possible alternative ? > > The down side is that we can expect, in the long term, that more XML > parsers will support XML Schema pre processing than a XSLT > "pre-transformation" --even if it's quite easy to implement a XSLT > transformation as a SAX filter and if the W3C is already hosting an > online XSLT transformation service. > > On the other hand, XSLT has a status of recommendation and plenty of > stable implementations. > > I think an "official" W3C XSLT transformation to transform XHTML, SMIL > or SVG in composite formats including XLink attributes in a documented > fashion would be very useful. > > My 0,02 Euros > > Eric > > > -Philipp > > -- > ------------------------------------------------------------------------ > Eric van der Vlist Dyomedea http://dyomedea.com > http://xmlfr.org http://4xt.org http://ducotede.com > ------------------------------------------------------------------------
