This is an archived snapshot of W3C's public bugzilla bug tracker, decommissioned in April 2019. Please see the home page for more details.
Section 8.1.3 sml:nilref is non-normative but contains the statement "This attribute MUST NOT be used on an element unless it also has sml:ref="true" specified." Section 4.1.2, which is normative, does not make any such statement. Proposal: 1. Remove sentence from 8.1.3 2. Do NOT add this statement to 4.1.2
+1 for the proposal.
Since Bug 5462 has been agreed on, I fixed this bug per the proposal. I believe that was the intent of the WG. The section was changed from: -------- 9.1.3 sml:nilref This global attribute is used to identify null SML references. This attribute MUST NOT be used on an element unless it also has sml:ref="true" specified. <xs:attribute name="nilref" type="xs:boolean"/> Any element that has sml:nilref="true" or sml:nilref="1" will be treated as a null SML reference. --------------- to: ---------------- 9.1.3 sml:nilref This global attribute is used to identify null SML references. <xs:attribute name="nilref" type="xs:boolean"/> Any SML reference that has sml:nilref="true" or sml:nilref="1" will be treated as a null SML reference. -------------
+1 for the change.
