Discussion: generic / universal requirements for XML processing
(all applications)
- Do you want a specified order for XML processing?
- Is there an ideal order?
- If so, is it a total order or a partial order?
- What's your ideal order for XML processing (if you have one)?
- Do you know whether your ideal order conflicts with
anyone else's?
If the order of actions in XML processing is constrained, are
the constraints
- univeral (applicable to all XML documents)?
- data-specific (different for different documents, but always
the same for a particular document)?
- application-specific (different depending on what you
are trying to do)?

Break-out groups, discussion
- What use cases / usage scenarios should be supported? Describe 2-4.
- What outcomes or deliverables would constitute successful
solution of the problems relating to the XML processing model?
- Is there any specific ordering (total or partial) of XML
processing which applies to all documents? Or is it impossible to
identify any ordering constraints which apply to all XML documents?
- Is there any specific ordering (total or partial) of XML
processing which always applies to a particular document? Or is it
impossible to identify any such ordering constraints which always
apply to a given XML document?
- Is it necessary / desirable for users to specify an ordering
for XML processing? Which users? how? Do they just need to specify
sequence of processing, or do they need to be able to describe
more details than sequence (and if so which)?
