Dear XML editor, Below is a comment on the Extensible Markup Language (XML) 1.0 (Second Edition). I hope this is useful. Sincerely, Mike McCaleb Problem: Text in section 4.4 states: Reference in Attribute Value as a reference within either the value of an attribute in a start-tag, or a default value in an attribute declaration; corresponds to the nonterminal AttValue. I assume that since Reference in Attribute Value pertains to a reference within the value of an attribute in a start-tag, it also pertains to a reference within the value of an attribute in an empty-element tag. If this is the case, it should be explicitly stated in the specification. Proposed Solution: Change: as a reference within either the value of an attribute in a start-tag, or a default value in an attribute declaration; corresponds to the nonterminal AttValue. to as a reference within either a default value in an attribute declaration, or the value of an attribute in a start-tag or empty-element tag; corresponds to the nonterminal AttValue. --------------------------------- <!doctype html public "-//w3c//dtd html 4.0 transitional//en"> <html> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"> <meta name="GENERATOR" content="Mozilla/4.76 (Macintosh; U; PPC) [Netscape]"> <title>XML Comments.html</title> </head> <body> Dear XML editor, <p>Below is a comment on the Extensible Markup Language (XML) 1.0 (Second Edition).
