Hi, This is a QA Review comment for "XML Binding Language (XBL) 2.0" http://www.w3.org/TR/2006/WD-xbl-20060907/ 2006-06-19 Last Call WD
About http://www.w3.org/TR/2006/WD-xbl-20060907/#attributes The specification defines a MUST requirement for parsing the document. [[[ 1.2.1. Attributes Containing Selectors The element attribute of the binding element and the includes attribute of the content element, if specified, must be parsed according to the rules in the Selectors specification. [SELECTORS] ]]] -- XML Binding Language (XBL) 2.0 http://www.w3.org/TR/2006/WD-xbl-20060619/#attributes Tue, 20 Jun 2006 15:27:58 GMT It makes then impossible for a conformant parser to use XPath (or any kind of parsing method like regex) to parse the document. Many XML tools have already implemented XPath and it doesn't seem there are a lot implementing Selectors. It would be better to not have a MUST on this requirement. Does it bring any benefits to impose the parsing rules? Selectors is also still a Working Draft. It means the XBL 2.0 specification will not be able to reach Rec until Selectors have itself reached PR. -- Karl Dubost - http://www.w3.org/People/karl/ W3C Conformance Manager, QA Activity Lead QA Weblog - http://www.w3.org/QA/ *** Be Strict To Be Cool ***
