From XML Error Recovery Community Group
Jump to: navigation, search

The group must stick to the following rules and design principles:

  • Backwards compatible with XML 1.0.
  • Keep the error recovery in the tokenizer and treebuilder as simple as possible.
  • Keep the error recovery fully deterministic.
  • Applications must be able to distinguish well-formed XML from corrected-to-well-formed XML.
  • Keep schema-based processing orthogonal to error recovery.
  • Allow for streaming processors.
  • Whenever the former principles leave room for choice, give preference to aligning with HTML.
