3441 2006-07-10 14:17:33 +0000 [Serialization]: in which phase do indentation and meta-tags happen? 2007-02-25 23:45:04 +0000 1 1 1 Unclassified XPath / XQuery / XSLT Serialization 1.0 Candidate Recommendation PC Windows XP CLOSED FIXED P2 normal --- 1 mike scott_boag public-qt-comments oldest_to_newest 10439 0 mike 2006-07-10 14:17:33 +0000 In section 4, phases of serialization, we don't specifically say where in the sequence of events (a) indentation, and (b) addition of meta tags occur. This means it's not well-defined whether character maps apply to text nodes and attribute nodes created by these two processes. My preference is that character maps should not apply to these nodes (the other operations in phase 2, character expansion, are unlikely to affect them anyway). This seems to suggest that indentation and addition of meta tags happen between phases 2 and 3 in the sequence. 11275 1 scott_boag 2006-08-25 15:12:00 +0000 The XSLT GW discussed and feels the meta tag should be regarded as 'item 0' in the serialization, not late, because you want them to be treated the same as any elements and attributes. Create those nodes, then go through steps 1-3. The XSLT WG recommends to the joint group that insertion of meta elements etc. goes before current step 1, and indentation between steps 2 and 3. 11618 2 joannet 2006-09-12 15:29:14 +0000 The Joint WG accepted the suggestion in comment #1 in the F2F meeting held on Aug. 25, 2006. Thank-you for raising this comment.
