Hi Joseph, >> What does "data is an 'element' or element 'content'" mean? To my >> understanding, it means the type of the serialized version of data is >> 'element' or element 'content', but is it right? If yes, step 5.1: > >I argue that data of that type is a sequence of characters matching the BNF >productions [39/43] from the XML 1.0 specification. This would not mean >they have to already be serialized in a particular encoding, as the spec >says, *after* you've identified them as such *then* you "obtain the octets >by serializing". So, it seems to me that the sentence in step 3.1: If the data is an 'element' [XML, section 3] or element 'content' [XML, section 3.1], obtain the octets by serializing the data in UTF-8 as specified in [XML]. means an element or element content is always serialized in UTF-8 as specified in XML and precludes other serializations. That is still limiting... Thanks, Takeshi IMAMURA Tokyo Research Laboratory IBM Research imamu@jp.ibm.com
