"if EBNF rule" Insert "an" "do not inherit" Do not inherit what? You mean "are not inherited". "the rule does not automatically apply" Change "rule" to "notation" or "marking". "ws:explicit" insert space after colon "S explicitly notates where whitespace is allowed" 'S' isn't the only such symbol. There's also Char and [^abc]. "Whitespace is not freely allowed in the direct Constructor productions, but is specified explicitly in the grammar, in order to be more consistent with XML." Start the sentence with "For example,". (Before "ws" annotations were introduced, the sentence was normative, but now it's just rephrasing the effect of some of the "ws" markings.) Change "allowed in" to "allowed by". Change "Constructor" to use lower case 'c'. 4469 1 scott_boag 2005-07-09 21:00:27 +0000 (In reply to comment #0) > A.2.2.2 Explicit Whitespace Handling > > [See a later comment for suggested alternate wording.] > > (whole section) > Given that there's only one 'ws:' notation now, you could reduce some of the > repetition. > > "if EBNF rule" > Insert "an" Done. > > "do not inherit" > Do not inherit what?

There's also Char and [^abc]. Now reads: <gitem id="ws-explicit"><label>ws: explicit</label><def><p>/* ws: explicit */ means that the EBNF notation explicitly notates, with <code>S</code> or otherwise, where <termref def="Whitespace">whitespace characters</termref> are allowed. In productions with the /* ws: explicit */ annotation, <specref ref="DefaultWhitespaceHandling"/> does not apply. <nt def="Comment">Comments</nt> are also not allowed in these productions.</p></def></gitem> > > "Whitespace is not freely allowed in the direct Constructor productions, but is > specified explicitly in the grammar, in order to be more consistent with XML." > Start the sentence with "For example,".

The WGs agreed to resolve these editorial issues as listed in my previous comment. If you do not agree with this resolution, please add a comment explaining why. If you wish to appeal the WG's decision to the Director, then change the Status of the record to Reopened. If we do not hear from you in the next two weeks, we will assume you agree with the WG decision. 14173 3 jim.melton 2007-02-25 23:53:52 +0000 Closing bug because commenter has not objected to the resolution posted and more than two weeks have passed.
