    <thetext>Comment from Francois Richard, only entered into bugzilla by Felix:

The precedence rules we define might be too complex for many tool developers.
instead of precedence rule (or in addition), one could have a rule saying &quot;use
only dislocated&quot; or &quot;use only inline scope&quot;.</thetext>

    <thetext>Using one could have a rule saying &quot;use only dislocated&quot; or &quot;use only inline 
scope&quot; would not really solve the issue: If a document has both notations the 
tool will *have to* handle both, otherwise it would not be able to cover what 
the document author wants.</thetext>

    <thetext>(In reply to comment #1)
&gt; Using one could have a rule saying &quot;use only dislocated&quot; or &quot;use only inline 
&gt; scope&quot; would not really solve the issue: If a document has both notations the 
&gt; tool will *have to* handle both, otherwise it would not be able to cover what 
&gt; the document author wants.
Maybe we should make the behavior of ITS processing clearer, writing s.t. like
&quot;first read the schema and look for ITS information, than the document (looking
for dislocated, than the document (looking for in situ).&quot; This is what the
precedence order says anyway, but it might be useful to have it formulated
different.</thetext>

    <thetext>We group discussed this.
The precedence rules have been simplified, as a reply to Bug 2620 (there are no
selectors in situ (or &quot;local&quot;, in the new terminology) anymore. We have not
adopted the part of the proposal to have a rule saying &quot;use
only dislocated&quot; or &quot;use only inline scope&quot;.
IMO (Felix), whether having such a rule makes sense, depends on the products we
define and on their specific conformance criteria.</thetext>

    <thetext>We decided not to continue discussion on this, see
http://www.w3.org/2006/02/22-i18nits-minutes.html#action10 , and hope that you
are satisfied with this resolution.</thetext>
