Justification It is not obvious to developers that are not intimately familiar with XML what the constraints of the ID type are and that they need to take it into account. A normative reference would be helpful. Target Web Services Policy Framework, section 2.1 Proposal Extend this text in section 4.2: /wsp:Policy/(@wsu:Id | @xml:id) The identity of the policy expression as an ID within the enclosing XML document. If omitted, there is no implied value. To refer to this policy expression, an IRI-reference MAY be formed using this value per Section 4.2 of WS-Security [WS-Security 2004] when @wsu:Id is used. with: /wsp:Policy/(@wsu:Id | @xml:id) The identity of the policy expression as an ID within the enclosing XML document. If omitted, there is no implied value. The constraints of the [XML 1.0] ID type MUST be met. To refer to this policy expression, an IRI-reference MAY be formed using this value per Section 4.2 of WS-Security [WS-Security 2004] when @wsu:Id is used. 12110 1 Paul.Cotton 2006-09-27 18:13:36 +0000 Proposal adopted at Sep 26 meeting: http://www.w3.org/2006/09/26-ws-policy-minutes.html 12112 2 Paul.Cotton 2006-09-27 18:18:21 +0000 Correct URI of Sep 27 minutes is: http://www.w3.org/2006/09/27-ws-policy-minutes.html /paulc
