Subject: RE: [legalxml-econtracts] Clause Model Submissions
Hi Peter, It's difficult to postpone facing this issue (of exchanging clause numbers) when both your proposed DTDs specifically accommodate such exchange. Personally, I fully support excluding these numbers from Clause Model solutions, deferring their generation to the time that the "final" presentation form of a contract is created -- I believe that this stance CLARIFIES the exchange model we are promoting, that is, it is a clear statement that we are NOT exchanging presentation information, but rather are focused on the exchange of information used to generated the presentation artifact. I'll answer your other stated concerns in this way. (a) There's not much difference between generated clause numbers and generated page numbers -- support zero or all to be consistent (b) actually, it's easier for software not to worry about exchanging and maintaining generated presentation information during the drafting phase (c) Cross-references are best done during drafting by way of URI references, not by text names; within the presentation documents, references of course would contain *both* uri's and text, that is, the information necessary to support the HTML <a> element. Thanks. John
