Rereading this today, I think it would probably be better to replace "every" with "each", to avoid the possible interpretation of "every occurrence" as meaning the class of all occurrences. That interpretation probably makes no sense in context, but it can't be ruled out on grammatical grounds alone; 'each' is better in that regard. Similar changes would be needed for 2b and 2c. > Changes 3a and 3b together guarantee that the serialization of an > element will not violate the WF constraint "Unique Att Spec". It may be obvious to all readers, but just in case I'll note that the reference to "3a and 3b" appears to be a typo for "3b and 3c". It's what I get for numbering things manually and then continuing to edit and reorganize the document. > Similarly, if the descendant includes (A -> B), then B is a > descendant of A. for "the descendant" read "the descendant relation". -- **************************************************************** * C.
