ISSUE-49: Data type and extensibility of datatype
datatype data type
Data type and extensibility of datatype
- State:
- CLOSED
- Product:
- ARIA 1.0
- Raised by:
- Michael Cooper
- Opened on:
- 2008-05-07
- Description:
- The datatype property says the value SHOULD be a QNAME with a value coming from XSL Schema Datatypes (XSD). I changed its value to QNAME in response to this. It also says authors MAY use a custom datatype, but they would be forced to use a QNAME and there is no mechanism for saying what they mean.
In discussion with the editors, the proposal is that the value should revert back to a string or token, in order to avoid problems with QNAMEs in HTML 5. However, the value MUST come from the XSD vocabulary (without the prefix). There would be no provision for custom data types in ARIA 1.0. - Related Actions Items:
