<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>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.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>As regards symbols ?, *, +, %, a little explanation
in a note at the begining of P28 would not cost a lot of effort.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2><SPAN class=710285211-19102001>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.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
