I expected to find text like there is for pragmas or options, something like: "If the namespace URI of an annotation's expanded QName is not recognized by the implementation, then the annotation is ignored." But I don't see that anywhere... 121891 1 josh.spiegel 2015-07-08 19:43:23 +0000 I don't see it either. The tests (I wrote) for this assume they are ignored: https://github.com/LeoWoerteler/QT3TS/blob/master/prod/Annotation.xml I remember thinking at the time that "ignore" is implied since no error condition is specified. But, I agree, it should be clarified.
