4647 2007-06-13 18:44:30 +0000 smlerr:output - why exclude node sets including text nodes, PIs, comments, ... ? 2007-09-20 20:24:51 +0000 1 1 1 Unclassified SML Core unspecified Macintosh All RESOLVED FIXED P2 normal Second draft 4978 1 cmsmcq virginia.smith public-sml oldest_to_newest 15427 0 cmsmcq 2007-06-13 18:44:30 +0000 The description of the 'expression' attribute on smlerr:output says, among other things, "If the node set contains namespace, processing instructions, comments, or text nodes, then no output is generated." Whether this means "no output is generated for text nodes, etc., only for elements and attributes in the node set" or "if there is anything but elements and attributes in the node set, no output at all is generated" (the words are imperfectly clear to me), the refusal to generate output for text nodes, etc., seems unmotivated. The design would be simpler and the spec more useful if this restriction were dropped. 16028 1 virginia.smith 2007-08-02 19:40:01 +0000 Resolution is to remove the restrictions on these additional node types. 16293 2 virginia.smith 2007-08-28 06:19:17 +0000 Section 5.1, last paragraph now reads: "expression= an XPath 1.0 expression that evaluates to a node set. The expression is evaluated in the context of the node selected by the context attribute in the parent sch:rule element. This XPath expression can use the deref() extension function." In section 5.1.4, first paragraph, the text "The serialization is only performed if the node set contains attribute and/or element nodes. Otherwise, no structured XML is serialized and an empty smlerr:errorData element is returned." has been replaced with the following new text: "If the node set is empty, an empty smlerr:errorData element is returned." ----- **This brings up an issue in the next paragraph which specifies how element nodes and attribute nodes are serialized. How are other node types to be serialized, e.g., text nodes? 16621 3 pratul.dublish 2007-09-17 15:29:29 +0000 All nodes will be serialized in the same fashion (using XML serialization).
