Various issues on WG11N173

[Pascal Huau]

Dave,


I do not know what the other think but I do not find very satisfactory to find in P28 examples of elements (e;g. Notation and Entity) that obviously would have a meaning with respect to the other data in the file but that are not explained in P28.
As regards symbols ?, *, +, %, a little explanation in a note at the begining of P28 would not cost a lot of effort.

  All,

  A quick response to a few of Pascal's issues:

  1, 2, 11 and 12 - The audience of Part 28 is an implementor who is fluent in EXPRESS and the XML 1.0 Recommendation. Therefore, repeating the definitions found in the XML spec for ?, *, +, %, ENTITY, NOTATION, etc. in the XML syntax is not appropriate info to be included in Part 28.  The XML Spec is freely available on the Web and, to be frank, if P28 becomes popular it's more likely the readers won't know EXPRESS than that they won't know XML.

  Thanks,
  David
