Comment 38 is where we processed your reply to our response to comment 15. Unfortunately, I am just the chair, not the editor of the Comments doc or the entire SG, and some other SG members tend to be more "terse" that I would be, so the official reply on comment 38 is less explanatory than I would like. In fact, the SG agrees that datatype handling in XSL is an area that could use more work, but such work is not within scope for an erratum. Furthermore, we are somewhat constrained by our requirement to support the CSS syntax which often causes problems for the XSL FO expression language. So for now, the point is that the <uri-specification> datatype is really a subtype of <string>. That is, the value of the src property follows all that for something of the datatype <string> but then in addition also has to follow the extra constraints defined by <uri-specification>. As such, the unusual quoting you noticed is, in fact, allowable. On the other hand, I'm not sure why that unusual quoting was chosen for the example in the first place, as I agree that isn't the way I'd usually quote such things. So if you still feel we have misinterpreted the spec as it now stands, please submit another comment. regards, paul
