Right. Thanks. I thought that mine is cheap to implement, fully expressive and is more efficient than forbidding combination of position-bearing and non-position-bearing elements. It is a pretty simple algorithm. I think that my version implicitly forbids elements prior to Offset, but this could be made explicit if that is clearer. I agree with the desire to forbid out-of-sequence elements; these are unnecessary and almost certainly represent errors. -----Original Message----- From: Jacek Kopecky [mailto:jacek@systinet.com] Sent: Wednesday, October 31, 2001 2:54 PM To: Andrew Layman Cc: xml-dist-app@w3.org Subject: RE: issue #144 proposal - array metadata in SOAP Encoding Andrew, I have gone a step further in my proposal (see the last iteration [1]), I have forbidden combining members with and without explicit position. I agree though that your set of rules would work as well. It has the benefit of being able to explicitly specify the position only on the first member in a contiguous segment of transmitted members. My last iteration has the benefit of stating that there is nothing before the offset, but I think this could easily be added to your version as well. 8-) I tend to leave my restriction and move to your set of rules but this may be making the rules a little more complex than necessary.
