Hello XML editor ! I study with great interest the version 1.0 text of XML in the hope to convince some ANSI committee (Think it is called S22 on Communication of Hearing Related Data -i.e. Audiological Measurements) that it should use XML in its ANSI drafts ! While doing this I have two suggestions: 1) Please insert a heading Style of VSs and WFCs and 2) please number them for easier reference ! MS office 2000 incl. Word 2000 opens HTML documents and edits them (as you probably know) and that is very convenient. But some styles come out not very well - Like the bold typeface you have selected for VCs and WFCs. It becomes s t r e t c h e d because Word interprets it as "normal bread text" (as we say in Danish) and justifies it ! My second suggestion is to number the VCs and WFCs for easier reference ! (se the example below !) A markup declaration is an element type declaration <http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml> , an attribute-list declaration <http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml> , an entity declaration <http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml> , or a notation declaration <http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml> . These declarations may be contained in whole or in part within parameter entities <http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml> , as described in the well-formedness and validity constraints below. For fuller information, see "4. Physical Structures <http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml> ". Document Type Definition [28] doctypedecl ::= '<!DOCTYPE' S <http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml> Name <http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml> (S <http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml> ExternalID <http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml> )? S <http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml> ? ('[' (markupdecl <http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml> | PEReference <http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml> | S <http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml> )* ']' S <http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml> ?)? '>' [ VC28: Root Element Type <http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml> ] [29] markupdecl ::= elementdecl <http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml> | AttlistDecl <http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml> | EntityDecl <http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml> | NotationDecl <http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml> | PI <http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml> | Comment <http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml> [ VC29: Proper Declaration/PE Nesting <http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml> ] [ WFC29: PEs in Internal Subset <http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml> ] The markup declarations may be made up in whole or in part of the replacement text <http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml> of parameter entities <http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml> . The productions later in this specification for individual nonterminals (elementdecl <http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml> , AttlistDecl <http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml> , and so on) describe the declarations after all the parameter entities have been included <http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml> . Validity Constraint VC28: Root Element Type The Name <http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml> in the document type declaration must match the element type of the root element <http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml> . Validity Constraint VC29: Proper Declaration/PE Nesting Parameter-entity replacement text <http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml> must be properly nested with markup declarations. That is to say, if either the first character or the last character of a markup declaration (markupdecl <http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml> above) is contained in the replacement text for a parameter-entity reference <http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml> , both must be contained in the same replacement text. Well-Formedness Constraint WFC29: PEs in Internal Subset In the internal DTD subset, parameter-entity references <http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml> can occur only where markup declarations can occur, not within markup declarations. (This does not apply to references that occur in external parameter entities or to the external subset.) Now - I hope this email comes out right to you. If it is all garbage please contact me and I shall try and see if I can somehow reformat ! I just used cut and paste from MS Word 2000 to Outlook 2000 !
