Hussein, To be fair, both are correct, but it depends on what you want to do
If you refer to XML Specification [1], then it means that you are talking about well formedness (without namespace) If you refer either to Namespace in XML [2] or any specification that depends on this one, you are talking about namespace-well-formedness which is described in section 7 of [2] So if you think that XMLMind is either namespace aware and namespace non aware then indeed you have to choose But probably, the stricter rule is better Xmlizer [1] http://www.w3.org/TR/xml/ [2] http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml-names/ On Mon, Nov 2, 2009 at 7:01 PM, Hussein Shafie <hussein at xmlmind.com> wrote: > Jeff Hooker wrote: >> >> Found one small bug with the genXref feature; it filters all special >> characters >> except the colon (:), which is an illegal character in xml:ids. >> > > Is it really? > > --> Extensible Markup Language (XML) 1.0 (Fourth Edition), > http://www.w3.org/TR/xml/ says: > --- > Values of type ID ?MUST match the Name production. > > Name ::= NameStartChar (NameChar)* > > NameStartChar ::= ":" | [A-Z] | "_" | [a-z] | ... > --- > > --> XML Schema Part 2: Datatypes Second Edition, > says: > --- > The ?lexical space? of ID is the set of all strings that ?match? the > NCName production in [Namespaces in XML] > > NCName ::= (Letter | '_') (NCNameChar)* > /* An XML Name, minus the ":" */ > --- > > Who is right? > > > > > > -- > XMLmind XML Editor Support List > xmleditor-support at xmlmind.com > http://www.xmlmind.com/mailman/listinfo/xmleditor-support >
