Description Maciej Stachowiak 2010-02-14 07:22:52 UTC
Section 5.3 says:

"If the XML API is namespace-aware, the tool must ensure that proper ([namespace name], [local name], [normalized value]) namespace tuples are created when converting the non-XML mode DOM into an Infoset."

But which are the "proper" namepace tuples? The example implies they are created by attributes with xmlns: in the name, but those have no special meaning in HTML5 and do not normally declare a namespace, so it's not clear, without being more specific, what is "proper".

Status: Fixed

Change Description: 

Included one more example to be more clear how the "proper" namespace tuple is generated:

http://dev.w3.org/cvsweb/html5/rdfa/drafts/ED-rdfa-in-html-20100504/Overview.html.diff?r1=1.7&r2=1.8&f=h

"""
If the XML API is namespace-aware, the tool must ensure that ([namespace name], [local name], [normalized value]) namespace tuples are created when converting the non-XML mode DOM into an Infoset. Given a standard xmlns: definition, xmlns:foo="http://example.org/bar#", the [namespace name] is http://www.w3.org/2000/xmlns/, the [local name] is foo, and the [normalized value] is http://example.org/bar#, thus the namespace tuple would be (http://www.w3.org/2000/xmlns/, foo, http://example.org/bar#).
"""

Rationale:

Further defining what "proper" means is helpful to implementers.
