DR 09-0211: WML: Custom XML and Smart Tags

[Alex Brown]

As in the last email calling the names of these things "element names"
implies that they correspond to XML constructs. If they do, fine (but
that leaves the Namespace question of the last email open); if they
don't perhaps the names should just be referred to as "names" ?

Nature of the Defect:

ParaThe second bullet on pp. 529 has, "This allows the smart tag to
specify a name which identifies this type of smart tag within its
namespace and again available to a consumer."

 

The standard should not attempt to explain the purpose of XML Element
Type Names in normative text. Also, this sentence does not make sense.

 

Here is the proposed response for this DR:

The exact changes are as follows:

*         The second of these is the element name for this smart tag
(contained in the element attribute). [Guidance: This allows the smart
tag to specify a name which identifies this type of smart tag within its
namespace and again available to a consumer. It is intended to be used
to specify a unique name for this type of smart tag. end guidance]
[Example: In the sample above, the smart tag specifies that its data is
of style stockticker. end example]

I've like to suggest that we move this to LAST CALL.
