Subject: Clause Structure applied to Benchmark Contract
Hi I suggested in the post below that to understand some of the practical implications of our decision on the CSS question, we really need to see how the XML would have to look in order for CSS to present it properly if applied directly. For the purposes of comparison, I've marked up the same clause using markup that I believe properly represents the content, but does not go out of its way to accommodate CSS. For completeness, I've marked up references to parties, use and making of definitions, and cross references. Mark up along these lines is useful in the law firm contract creation scenario. You'll see there are lots of these, but for present purposes they can be disregarded. cheers, Jason Jason Harrop wrote: > Hi Dan > > Yes, its a good idea to discuss this issue at this week's teleconf. > > But the 'first take' below invites us all to answer 'yes', without > acknowledging the price we would pay for that response. > > Here is one way to put it which does require us to acknowledge there > is a price to pay: > > "ALWAYS or NOT NECESSARILY: In our schema design, where choosing > between representations which are convenient for CSS on the one hand, > and representations which are attractive owing to other considerations > (eg ease of use, economy of expression, validation), CSS concerns will > ALWAYS or will NOT NECESSARILY trump all other considerations." > > Here is an alternative, which articulates what we are asking (fairly > or unfairly) of CSS: > > "Yes or No: Irrespective of any other consideration (eg ease of use, > economy of expression, validation), our schema must be such that when > an appropriate CSS is directly applied to a XML document (valid > according to the schema), the output will be of a quality that could > be printed and signed." > > I think there are still a few more issues to tease out on the mailing > list in order to ensure a productive fully informed teleconf. > > To this end, I invite John McClure (following Dan's "Benchmark > Contracts" email) to mark up section 6.4 (just (a) to (d) would be > sufficient) of the lease document at > http://contracts.corporate.findlaw.com > /agreements/goldman/hanover.lease.1997.08.22.html > using his XML, and to provide CSS which when applied to the XML > presents it as closely as CSS is capable of to that web page.
