The order of the document children is not significant. * Each model instance document [Ed. note: insert link to definition] in the interchange set MUST appear as a child of a document element that is a child of the instances element of the SML-IF document. The order of the document children is not significant. Documents may be included in the SML-IF document either as an embedded document (where the octet stream representing the SML model document to be included is physically embedded in the SML-IF document) or as a document reference. 3.3.1 Embedded Documents If a document is to be physically embedded in the SML-IF document, the octet stream representing it MUST first be processed as follows: * The XML declaration and document type declaration (DTD) are removed. * The stream is converted to the encoding of the SML-IF document into which it will be packaged. Note: If the SML-IF document uses UTF-8 encoding, the octet-stream result of XML Canonicalization [Canonical XML] is more than sufficient to accomplish this processing. The resulting octet stream MUST be embedded as the content of the data child of the corresponding document element in the SML-IF document. 3.3.2 Document References If a document is to be referred to rather than embedded, a reference to it MUST placed in the locator child of the corresponding document element. SML-IF specifies one way such references may be constructed, the documentURI element, however any representation the producer and consumer agree on may be used. [Ed. note: the previous statement is not very portable!] 15915 2 kirk.wilson 2007-07-25 14:53:53 +0000 The statement regarding the placement of the model instance document, "Each model instance document...MUST appear as a child of a document element that is a child of the instances element...", appears to be garbled. The model instance doc is a child of the <instance> element and not the child of a <document> element. The final clause then seems to get everything into an infinite recursion. (There might have been a copy/paste error from the preceding statement, and the wrong words were mistaken changed. Note the <instance> is on the same level as the <document> element. I believe the statement should read: Each model instance document...MUST appear as a child of a INSTANCE element that is a child of the DEFINITIONS element....) 15937 3 kirk.wilson 2007-07-26 19:05:13 +0000 (In reply to comment #2) > The statement regarding the placement of the model instance document, "Each > model instance document...MUST appear as a child of a document element that is > a child of the instances element...", appears to be garbled.
