    <thetext>Section 8.1.3 sml:nilref is non-normative but contains the statement &quot;This attribute MUST NOT be used on an element unless it also has sml:ref=&quot;true&quot; specified.&quot;  Section 4.1.2, which is normative, does not make any such statement.

Proposal: 

1. Remove sentence from 8.1.3
2. Do NOT add this statement to 4.1.2</thetext>

    <thetext>Since Bug 5462 has been agreed on, I fixed this bug per the proposal. I believe that was the intent of the WG. The section was changed from:
--------
9.1.3 sml:nilref

This global attribute is used to identify null SML references. This attribute MUST NOT be used on an element unless it also has sml:ref=&quot;true&quot; specified.

&lt;xs:attribute name=&quot;nilref&quot; type=&quot;xs:boolean&quot;/&gt;

 Any element that has sml:nilref=&quot;true&quot; or sml:nilref=&quot;1&quot; will be treated as a null SML reference. 
---------------

to:

----------------
9.1.3 sml:nilref

This global attribute is used to identify null SML references.

&lt;xs:attribute name=&quot;nilref&quot; type=&quot;xs:boolean&quot;/&gt;

Any SML reference that has sml:nilref=&quot;true&quot; or sml:nilref=&quot;1&quot; will be treated as a null SML reference.
