But "represents" is a technical term for collections: it determines the exact set of names and ids that the collection has. So if this is a non-normative statement, then we should not use "represents" here, ideally. On the other hand, if this requirement is normative, then I'm not sure what it's supposed to mean, exactly. And specifically, what should the .properties be for an element not in a document? If I ignore this statement, the spec currently says empty collection. ================================================================================ 74732 1 silviapfeiffer1 2012-09-28 05:15:56 +0000 EDITOR'S RESPONSE: This is an Editor's Response to your comment.
