>   d. <param name="..." value="..."/> or <param name="...">...</param>.
Voted

>
>   e. key/keyRef or ID/IDREF? Voted in favor of key/keyRef.
>
>   f. <oneOrMoreTokens> and <zeroOrMoreTokens>. Voted in favor -- a

>
> 4. combine attribute. Voted in favor of values "choice" and "interleave"
> hence removing the values "group" and "replace". As an attribute of

from

> 5. Language Specs. Proposed is a formal spec, a tutorial, and a
developer's

rewrite

writing.
