In the teleconference for resolution of WebCGM Second Release issues, we
decided that the "case-insensitive" spec for type SF,
non-graphical text, T.14.5, was incorrect. Specifically, it clashes
with XML specifications and could make a real mess of attempting to
implement a companion-file architecture.
However, it has some impacts that we might not have intended. For
example, the ATA conformance test FNTLST04 contains this font list:
1 >TiMeS_RomAN<
2 >TIMES-italic<
3 >helvetica-oblique<
4 >courier-BOLD<
This would now be invalid. So the question we need to
address is the scope of the correction. Options:
1. all SF parameters (telcon decision);
2. all SF data in APS and APS attributes are case-sensitive, but
elsewhere is case-insensitive. (Note this leaves BegPic 'id'
indeterminant, as it enters into fragment specifications).
3. all SF parameters unless specifically excepted (e.g., could give
exception to Font List, etc).
I think #2 is a reasonable combination of minimal impact on legacy CGMs,
and achieving what we intended with the correction.
Other thoughts?
-Lofton.
