Description John Arwe 2008-08-22 12:59:06 UTC
Since http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=5543 has been marked resolved, opening this bug so we do not lose track of the portion of 5543 the wg deferred consideration of until after LC according to http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=5543#c16 (2), copied here:

(2) in Comment #15 will be considered post 2nd LC draft

In other words, the subject of this bug is http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=5543#c15 part 2, copied here:

2. The responsibility division between 4.3.1 and 4.3.1.1 are not very clear.

4.3.1 goes through effort to compute the document (D) that potentially contains
the target, but D is not passed to 4.3.1.1. In 4.3.1.1, it mentioned the
concept of "Document context", which is not a term defined in XPointer
Framework.

I think it'd be easier to understand if

a. Change bullet i in 4.3.1 to something like "If ..., then the reference
target is obtained by applying the fragment component to D, as defined in
section 4.3.1.1 smlxpath1() scheme."

b. Remove bullet 5 from 4.3.1.1

c. Change (the current) bullet 6 to "For a given document D, the element
targeted by a scheme instance is obtained by applying the location path in
SMLXPath1_SchemeData to the root element of D. ..."

notes/resolution from the conf call on 8/28:

<johnarwe_> part a: consensus 

<johnarwe_> part b: consensus 

<johnarwe_> part c: clarified that proposal is for replacing first sentence of former item 6. members want to refine proposal here and now. 

updated proposal from john: Note: In the case of instances of the SML URI Reference scheme, D is the document resolved to by the non-fragment part of the URI-reference, as defined in 2.a in 4.3.1. 

<scribe> new part c: replace 4.3.1.1 item 6 by: For a given document D, the element targeted by a scheme instance is obtained by applying the location path in SMLXPath1_SchemeData to the root element of D. The result MUST either be 1 element node or be empty. Otherwise, the XPointer result is an error. 

resolution: changes defined above approved. mark editorial. change milestone to LC.
