Subject: [OASIS Issue Tracker] Updated: (ODATA-381) Hanging paragraphs - all current csprd01 documents
[ http://tools.oasis-open.org/issues/browse/ODATA-381?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ] Ralf Handl updated ODATA-381: ----------------------------- Environment: [Applied] (was: [Proposed]) Resolution: (was: Every division that is followed by sub-divisions, should have no text content following the initial section division. Text content should be confined to sub-divisions where present.) Assignee: Michael Pizzo > 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 JSON Format, OData Protocol , OData URL Conventions > Affects Versions: V4.0_CSD01 > Environment: [Applied] > Reporter: Patrick Durusau > Assignee: Michael Pizzo > Priority: Minor > Fix For: V4.0_CSD02 > > > 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
