This is an archived snapshot of W3C's public bugzilla bug tracker, decommissioned in April 2019. Please see the home page for more details.
The Datatypes spec states: 'The value space of ENTITY is the set of all strings that match the NCName production in [Namespaces in XML] and have been declared as an unparsed entity in a document type definition.' The commentator asserts that ENTITY is not a primitive datatype and that a processor need not enforce 'have been declared as an unparsed .. '. A request is made to clarify this. A similiar issue is raised for ENTITIES. See: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Member/w3c-xml-schema-ig/2001Jun/0005.html
Discussed at the Oct. 25 concall: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Member/w3c-xml-schema-ig/2001Oct/0054.html The WG resolved to classify this as an error, and instruct the editors to prepare an erratum.
