[Paul Grosso]

Robert, If I understand correctly, you are suggesting that different specializations can do different things based only on some writeup in the standard. Jeff and I have said that is the one choice we find unacceptable. Either there needs to be some machine-readable way to determine behavior (e.g., encode it in the DTD/XSDs), or all behavior must be consistent. Having to hardwire potentially conflictly behavior into an implementation for each specialization is not a good option. Jeff and I will try to discuss this some more before tomorrow's meeting, but I wanted to respond as soon as possible. paul >
