[Forwarding to the namespace comments list. paul] -- From: "Kevin Neel" <kevinsneel@rcn.com> To: <liam@w3.org> Subject: Comment on the namespace rec errata Date: Sat, 19 Jul 2003 09:58:33 -0700 In the last sentence of the NE08 change in http://www.w3.org/XML/xml-names-19990114-errata, shouldn't "attributes" be replaced with "values assigned to attributes"? As it reads, it sounds like a restriction on attribute names. In fact, I didn't understand it until I read the rationale for the change. No attributes with a declared type of ID, IDREF(S), ENTITY(IES) or NOTATION contain any colons. Thanks, Kevin NE08 substantive 6 Conformance of Documents Replace all of section 6 with the following: 6. Conformance of Documents This specification applies to XML 1.0 documents. To conform to this specification, a document must be well-formed according to the XML 1.0 specification. In XML documents which conform to this specification, element types and attribute names must match the production for QName and must satisfy the "Namespace Constraints". All other tokens in the document which are required, for XML 1.0 well-formedness, to match the XML production for Name, must match this specification's production for NCName. Definition: A document is namespace-well-formed if it conforms to this specification. It follows that in a namespace-well-formed document All element types and attribute names contain either zero or one colon; No entity names, PI targets, or notation names contain any colons. In addition, a namespace-well-formed document may also be namespace-valid. Definition: A namespace-well-formed document is namespace-valid if it is valid according to the XML 1.0 specification, and all tokens other than element types and attribute names which are required, for XML 1.0 validity, to match the XML production for Name, match this specification's production for NCName. It follows that in a namespace-valid document No attributes with a declared type of ID, IDREF(S), ENTITY(IES) or NOTATION contain any colons.
