Description Sandy Gao 2007-11-05 16:44:36 UTC 
The current IF schema allows <data> to not have any child element. 2 questions:
- Should this be allowed (see discussion in bug 5047)
- If yes, what does it mean?

The IF spec needs to be clear about these 2 questions.
Comment 1 Pratul Dublish 2007-11-12 06:03:34 UTC 
Comment #10 in 5047 has a scenario for <data> without a child element. <data> without a child element means that the document is missing from the SML IF.
Comment 2 Virginia Smith 2007-11-15 20:11:46 UTC 
Resolution: Agreed to empty <data> element. Mark as editorial - Kumar to come back to group with proposed text.
Comment 3 Valentina Popescu 2007-11-21 18:14:41 UTC 
Changes for this defect may be already covered under http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=5272
Comment 4 Sandy Gao 2007-11-22 15:08:35 UTC 
What I had in mind to resolve this bug is to add to section 5.2.1 something similar to what's in 5.2.2:

If a <data> contains no child element, then the SML-IF consumer MUST treat the embedded document as if it is not part of the interchange set.
Comment 5 Kumar Pandit 2007-11-26 08:13:37 UTC 
I agree with the concepts expressed in comment# 3 and comment# 4.

Section "5.2.1 Embedded Documents" will change substantially when we address bug# 4687 (Handling of DTDs ...). Therefore, the actual text used will need to be consistent with the language of the rest of the changes in that section.
Comment 6 Kumar Pandit 2007-12-10 02:19:16 UTC 
Added the following line to section 5.2.1 Embedded Documents:

If model/*/document/data contains no child element or model/*/document/base64Data has empty content then the SML-IF consumer MUST treat the document as if it is not part of the interchange set.
