<abstract>
|
|
|
<p>The Extensible Markup Language (XML) is a subset of
|
|
|
SGML that is completely described in this document. Its goal is to
|
|
|
enable generic SGML to be served, received, and processed on the Web
|
|
|
in the way that is now possible with HTML. XML has been designed for
|
|
|
ease of implementation and for interoperability with both SGML and
|
|
|
HTML.</p>
|
|
|
</abstract>
|
|
|
<status>
|
|
|
<p>This document has been reviewed by W3C Members and
|
|
|
other interested parties and has been endorsed by the
|
|
|
Director as a W3C Recommendation. It is a stable
|
|
|
document and may be used as reference material or cited
|
|
|
as a normative reference from another document. W3C's
|
|
|
role in making the Recommendation is to draw attention
|
|
|
to the spPcification and to promote its widespread
|
|
|
deployment. This enhances the functionality and
|
|
|
interoperability of the Web.</p>

This document specifies a syntax created by subsetting an existing,
|
|
|
widely used international text processing standard (Standard
|
|
|
Generalized Markup Language, ISO 8879:1986(E) as amended and
|
|
|
corrected) for use on the World Wide Web. It is a product of the W3C
|
|
|
XML Activity, details of which can be found at <loc
|
|
|
href='http://www.w3.org/XML'>http://www.w3.org/XML</loc>. A list of
|
|
|
current W3C Recommendations and other technical documents can be found

ref="RFC1738"/> and <bibref ref="RFC1808"/>.

|
|
|
change expansion of entity WebSGML,
|
|

|
|
|
move some references from Other References to Normative References,
|
|
|
add RFC 1738, 1808, and 2141 to Other References (they are not
|
|
|
normative since we do not require the processor to enforce any
|
|
|
rules based on them),

|
|

|
|
NOT part of the URI formally speaking, and are NOT legal in
|
|
|
system identifiers (processor 'may' signal an error).

changes to productions for choice, seq, Mixed, NotationType,

Enumeration. Follow James Clark's suggestion and prohibit

conditional sections in internal subset. TO DO: simplify

production for ignored sections as a result, since we don't

need to worry about parsers whi<! don't expand PErefs finding

a conditional section.</sitem>

Define the set of characters from which [^abc] subtracts.

Charref should use just [0-9] not Digit.

Location info needs cleaner treatment: remove? (ERB

question).
|
|
|
One example of a PI has wrong pic.
|
|
|
Clarify discussion of encoding names.
|
|
|
Encoding failure should lead to unspecified results; don't
|
|
|
prescribe error recovery.
|
|
|
Don't require exposure of entity boundaries.
|
|
|
Ignore white space in element content.
|
|
|
Reserve entity names of the form u-NNNN.
|
|
|
Clarify relative URLs.
|
|
|
And some of my own:
|
|
|
Correct productions for content model: model cannot
|
|
|
consist of a name, so "elements ::= cp" is no good.

|
Add bibliographic refs to 10646, HyTime, Unicode.
|
|
|
Rename old Cdata as MsData since it's <emph>only</emph> seen
|
|
|
in marked sections. Call them attribute-value pairs not
|
|

name-value pairs, except once. Internal subset is optional, needs

'?'. Implied attributes should be signaled to the app, not

have values supplied by processor.</sitem>

Add match, exact match to terminology.
