RE: [courtfiling-doc] Marking up narrative text in court documents using

Changes to what – the input form, the form processing application, the xslt style sheet for displaying/publishing the XML instance, or the older (and now incorrect) XML instances?

It should be easy to change an xslt style sheet so that the output of the new element and its contents will be the same as the older one. Revising the form and form processing application could be more complicated but I’d think you would just substitute the new jxdm: element and text for the older one. Changing the older (and now incorrect) XML instances could be done easily with an xslt style sheet – in effect the style sheet would be generating an “improved” version 2 of the original XML document.

I’m probably missing something here.

Agreed except for one final point. What happens if someone decides the
text of a particular part of a form needs changing and the earlier
category no longer maps correctly to the category of xml text that was
previously assigned to it? How much makework is then involved in making
the changes?
