Subject: [OASIS Issue Tracker] Created: (ODATA-381) Hanging paragraphs - all current csprd01 documents
Hanging paragraphs - all current csprd01 documents -------------------------------------------------- Key: ODATA-381 URL: http://tools.oasis-open.org/issues/browse/ODATA-381 Project: OASIS Open Data Protocol (OData) TC Issue Type: Bug Components: OData ATOM Format , OData CSDL, OData Extension for JSON Data Affects Versions: V4.0_CSD01 Reporter: Patrick Durusau Priority: Minor The current drafts have what are known as "hanging paragraphs." As an example, from odata-v4.0-csprd01-part1-protocol: **** 8 Header Fields OData defines semantics around the following request and response headers. Additional headers MAY be specified, but have no unique semantics defined in OData. 8.1 Common Headers The OData-Version and Content-Type headers are common between OData requests and responses. **** If I say, conform to Section 8, do I mean: All of section 8 or do I mean only the paragraph following section 8, but not any of the following subsections? This happens with sub-sections as well, see odata-v4.0-csprd01-part2-url-conventions: **** 5.1.1.5 Lambda Operators OData defines two operators that evaluate a Boolean expression on a collection. Both must be prepended with a navigation path that identifies a collection. 5.1.1.5.1 any The any operator applies a Boolean expression to each member of a collection and evaluates to true if and only if the expression is true for any member of the collection. As a special case the Boolean expression may be empty, in which case the any operator evaluates to true if the collection is not empty. **** If I say conform to 5.1.1.5 Lambda Operators, as in "prepend[ing]" a navigation path that identifies a collection, do I also mean conform to all the subparagraphs that follow? Or do I mean just that part? Formally it is an ambiguous reference to have content following a section division that has sub-divisions. It isn't possible to resolve from the text along, say for a conformance clause, the meaning of the reference. Meaning different readers will assign different meanings to the reference. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://tools.oasis-open.org/issues/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
