Subject: ISSUE: delimited string inconsistency?

Hi WebCGM TC,
I'm working on the DOM test case for ApsAttr 'viewcontext', and have
found a couple of problems about "delimited string".
First sub-Issue -- 5.5 and 5.7.6 inconsistent.
For example, suppose I had a viewcontext of the two NVDC corner points
(0,0) and (100,100). What would be the delimited string? The
example in the table of 5.7.6 suggests:
"0,0,100,100"
However, the grammar of section 5.5 suggests something very
different:
"'0' '0' '100' '100'"
5.7.6 calls it a delimited string, but its example just looks like a
single string of comma-separated numbers. If it were really meant
to be a delimited string, then presumably each number would be a
sub-string. Same comment for 'region'.
Before fixing table 5.7.6, we ought to decide on this...
Second sub-Issue -- is delimited string a good choice?
Delimited string seems appropriate for lists of possibly complex
sub-strings (e.g., linkuri). But it seems like overkill for a list
of numbers (such as 'viewcontext' and 'region'). It would be
simpler to define those as a single string, consisting of wsp-delimited
or comma-delimited numbers.
Agree? Disagree? (We can decide on the delimiting -- comma or
wsp -- after we decide whether or not to change it to single
string.)
Regards,
-Lofton.
