Subject: 2.4.6 Cursor Position Setting
Greetings, 2.4.6 Cursor Position Setting, first paragraph reads: A common view setting for editing applications is the position where the text cursor was while saving the document. For WYSIWYG application, this usually will be a position within a paragraph only. For application that provide an XML based view of the document, the cursor position could be also between arbitrary elements, or even within tags. Suggest: WYSIWYG application -> WYSIWYG applications For application -> For applications The second paragraph reads: To represent a text cursor position within Open Office documents, a processing instruction with PITarget openoffice (see §2.6 of [XML1.0]) should be used. The character content of the processing instruction must follow the XML start tag content, that is, it must have a name and an arbitrary number of attributes. The name of the cursor position processing instruction is cursor-position. It may have arbitrary application specific attributes, for instance to connect the cursor position with a certain view of the document, where the views themselves are specified as application specific settings. Comment: Since this is the only place where processing instructions are specified, shouldn't we simply say that the required name is cursor-position, as opposed to saying it must have a name and then saying it is cursor-position? The reason I mention this is that 'name' is used in the productions of XML 1.0 to define the PITarget. Granted 'name' in another sense but possibly confusing in a quick read.
