2. Detailed Description of Comments

3319: Namespace binding mechanism
First recorded: 2006-06-07
Last modified: 2007-02-16
Last modification: The ineroperability testing during CR phase should that the namespace binding via "xmlns" attributes can handle all functionality the specification needs. Hence, the alternative namespace binding via the "ns" element (a "feature at risk") was dropped from the specification.
Review Status: Working Group accepted proposal. Reviewer is satisfied.

4096: Inheritance and overriding needs to be made clearer
First recorded: 2006-12-19
Last modified: 2007-02-02
Last modification: Resolved by the following reformulation of the list in sec. 5.4, see action item http://www.w3.org/2006/12/13-i18nits-minutes.html#action10 : 1.Implicit local selection in documents (ITS local attributes on a specific element) 2. Global selections in documents (using a rules element) Inside each rules element the precedence order is: 1. Any rules inside the rules element 2. Any rules linked via the XLink href attribute Note: If identical selections are defined in different rules elements within one document, the selection defined by the last takes precedence. Note: ITS doesn't define precedence related to rules defined or linked based on non-ITS mechanisms (such as processing instructions for linking rules). 3. Selections via defaults for data categories, see Section 6.1: Position, Defaults, Inheritance and Overriding of Data Categories
