As I read the XPath spec, when they say "token" they don't necessarily mean a character string in the Schema token datatype's value space. I can't find any place where XPATH itself requires that a character string be Schema-tokenized or even whiteSpace-collapsed. Help me out here. 14061 2 cmsmcq 2007-02-22 20:39:51 +0000 The reference is not to any use of the term 'token' in XPath documentation; the reference is to the schema for schemas, which currently says in part <xs:attribute name="test"> <xs:simpleType> <xs:annotation> <xs:documentation>A subset of XPath expressions for use in assertion tests</xs:documentation> </xs:annotation> <xs:restriction base="xs:token"> </xs:restriction> </xs:simpleType> </xs:attribute> The point is well taken; this should be fixed. There is no need for tokenization by the schema processor in any case, since it will be performed by the XPath processor. The XPath processor's tokenization will be more reliable, since it will be informed by the XPath grammar in ways that XSD whitespace processing is not. 14376 3 holstege 2007-03-09 17:51:05 +0000 Fixed: see minutes http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Member/w3c-xml-schema-ig/2007Mar/0010.html
