Description Sandy Gao 2009-02-09 15:58:06 UTC
In "3.3.8.2 Lexical Mapping" of the 3rd LC draft [1], the (very long) regular regular expression appears twice, once on a single line, and once split across 5 lines.

Quite so.  Was, I believe, also in the previous LC draft.  :-(  Both versions were added to the source at the same time and in response to the same bug; I assume one was meant to be removed and its removal got backburnered and then overlooked.

Since the one-line version is quite long and thus quite useless on most browsers, and since the introductory text mentions that whitespace (which includes line breaks) is meant to be removed before the RE is used, I assume the one-line version should be removed and the other remain.

WG should approve this solution (or reject it--I hope not).

WG adopted the proposal in comment 1
Comment 3 Dave Peterson 2009-03-21 01:58:36 UTC
The WG approved the fix in http://www.w3.org/XML/Group/2004/06/xmlschema-2/datatypes.dp090225.html .  The amendment has been incorporated in the XML master, and is awaiting republishing of a status quo document.

Sorry, cut-and-paste error.  There was no amendment; the fix was approved as presented, and will be included in the next status quo document.

The problem described here appears to be corrected in the current
status-quo document, so I'm marking this issue RESOLVED / FIXED.

Sandy, over to you.
