Subject: Re: Comments on XML Catalogs specification
/ Rob Lugt <roblugt@elcel.com> was heard to say: | It appears that there is a contradiction in the 2001-05-7 draft of the "XML | Catalog" specification. In the section titled "External Identifier | Entries", towards the end, the "order of specificity of match...." section | describes the order of specificity as | 1) system | 2) public | 3) delegateSystem | 4) delegatePublic That list is not intended to be in any order of specificity, it's just a list of the relevant entries. I've turned it into a bulletted list to make this clearer. | This seems to be in contradiction to the section titled "Catalog Resolution | Semantics" later in the document which describes the order as [my numbers] | 1) system | 2) delegateSystem | 3) public | 4) delegatePublic That's the proper order. | Perhaps you would consider the use of hierarchical section numbers in the | next draft as this would make commenting on the specification easier. Yes. I've done that now. I had been following the historical precedent in OASIS technical reports of not using section numbers. But that makes no sense, so I'll stop :-) Be seeing you, norm -- Norman.Walsh@Sun.COM | Our life gets as complicated as a comedy as it XML Standards Engineer | goes on, but the complications get gradually Technology Dev. Group | resolved: see that the curtain comes down on a Sun Microsystems, Inc. | good denouement.--Graci\'an ------------------------------------------------------------------ To unsubscribe from this elist send a message with the single word "unsubscribe" in the body to: entity-resolution-comment-request@lists.oasis-open.org
