Craig --

      

      IMO as we type XML we seldom put "smart quotes" in. So I'd turn it
      off for all examples, but leave in all text that's not XML example
      text.

      

      It also sounds like it's a good time for me to quickly review the
      UML diagram - I'll do that tonight.

      

      Thanks!

I’ve
            seen it in some places.  Can I get a ruling Toby, on whether
            smart quotes should/should not be in the XML?  It appears
            from what I’ve seen that prose quotes are “smart”, and XML
            quotes are mixed – some are smart (mostly ones that have
            been edited recently), and some are not (mostly ones that
            are heldover from 1.0).

        
 

        
I
            have a WD32 with all the fixes except smart quotes ready to
            ship out, and can produce a WD32 with the smart quote fix,
            just let me know.  WD31 has most of the changes, so the
            difference to WD32 should be small enough that people could
            consume it on the fly in the call tomorrow if need be.

        
 

        
Thanks

Hi
            Craig,
          

          

          I
            was just looking in XML snippets the tagspace chapter, it
            contains two types of quotes:
          

          

          

          

          but
            also in the versioning XML snippet I see the "Word"-ified
            quotes:
          

          

          

          it
            is really nitpicking, I know... (I can go through the doc
            and create a list if needed, but maybe it is faster with the
            formatted search within Word?!)
          

          

          Mit
            freundlichen Grüßen / Best regards

            I’ve
              fixed 5.5.1 – I noticed that when I first moved it, but
              forgot to go back and check that accepting changes had
              fixed it, sorry!
            

             
            

            I
              searched through a few dozen pages in the middle, and I
              found:
            

            ·  
             
             
             
            quotes
              in the XML are simple text quotes
            

            ·  
             
             
             
            quotes
              in the prose are Word-style “down-quote/up-quote”
            

            ·  
             
             
             
            When
              the prose is specifically including some XML, it has
              un-styled quotes
            

            This
              seems to be consistent, at least in the sections I
              checked.  Is that a problem?  Can you point to an example?
            

             
            

            I
              have made these changes to a WD32 doc, which I can send
              out once we sort this out.  It shouldn’t be a problem for
              people since the changes will be very minor from WD31.
            

             
            

            Thanks,

            Hi
              Craig, 

            

              cool stuff! I only have two formatting comments: 
              

              - 5.1.1 is twice in the text (one for tagspace, same for
              versioning) 
              

              - there are a lot of Word formatted quote characters
              mixed-in with the standard quotes, can this easily be
              cleaned?
            

            

              Mit freundlichen Grüßen / Best regards

            I have posted WD31 which includes the changes from last
            weeks' discussion. I am hopeful that this one may be able to
            go out for public review.
