ECMA-376 : bug? and concern

I can only see DR 15-0022 – ST: No subclause for ST_OnOff1, which was
resolved by introducing a new subclause in Part 4. The DR was closed in
COR4.

 

I’ve done a search for ‘default=”off”’ in the latest edition and there are
three occurrences in Appendix A.1:

 

*	Page 3816, line 598 and line 601
*	Page 3818, line 671

 

These are certainly defects, because s:ST_OnOff is of type xs:boolean, and
the only valid values are ‘true’, ‘false’, ‘1’ and ‘0’.

 

I’ve only looked at the Appendix text, not the schemas.

 

Enjoy your vacation!

 

Francis

Hi all, I’m on vacation through the end of next week, but just received this
and thought I’d circulate it to a few people.

 

The mention of a problem with ST_OnOff reminded me of a DR we worked on in
the past year or so (don’t recall which), which we might have closed AFTER
the latest edition was frozen.

Hi,

 

Thank you for your time today. 

 

As explained I am interested in the following 2 things:

 

Bug?

The ECMA 5th edition Part 1 strict schema does not validate in Altova XMLspy
2017, as shown here:


I believe this is due to ST_OnOff being of type xsd:boolean as follows: 
 

combined with a number of schema attributes of the type ST_OnOff having a
default value of “off” - which does not comply with xsd:boolean eg.


 

Concern

Because of the above issue I have not tested against the strict ECMA schema,
but Office 365 Word documents do not appear to comply to the 5th edition
transitional schema. For example, validating document.xml of the attached
Office 365 Word document fails validation against wml.xsd as shown here.  Is
this expected?






 

Thanks so much for the help!

 

Richard
