Hi, The W3C XML Schema recommendation seems to consider that it's out of its scope to define the processing architecture around a schema such as the usage of a schema by a validating parser and I was wondering where this was defined|discussed. For instance, one could imagine that a validating parser could pass to the applications the canonical form of the values read in a document. This would make a huge difference for the applications (probably much more appreciated by "data oriented applications" than by "document oriented applications"). I have (briefly I must admit) gone though DOM Level 3 "Load and Save" [1] and I haven't seen what I was looking for. [1] http://www.w3.org/TR/2001/WD-DOM-Level-3-ASLS-20010607/load-save.html I wonder, though, if it's not something which should be discussed beyond the scope of a specific parsing API. Thanks for your thoughts (and pointers).
