[dsdl-discuss] Re: Part 10 Scenario

Eric

>OK. I'll forward your scenario to the Orbeon guys who are best placed to
elegantly implement it with XPL.

Thanks

>What did surprise me a lot with this scenario is that it isn't pure
validation but requires a result that is a transformed infoset. To me,
that looks like something which is useful but against the general
principles of DSDL which focuses on pure validation. I thin that it goes
beyond what we've called Validation Management so far and is more a
scenario for a general purpose pipeline language with validation
support.

The only part that does this is the part related to the need to do
transformations before recombining - the MathML to SVG and Docbook to HTML
parts. This was deliberate. Though we've said that we are only concerned
with validation somehow validation results have to be combined with
transformations in the real world. Pipelines handle this naturally. What I
was trying to get a feel for was how easy it would be to combine DSDL
validation with pipeline transformations. May be possible, may not, but we
should explore this if we do decide that using pipelining is an adequate
route for Validation Management.

>PS: Even if that's probably useless after the decision you've taken in
Washington, I'll try to finalise what I had in mind for Validation
Management.

Please do so, but remember that we have a deadline coming up in April. If we
don't get a document out then Part 10 gets wiped off the program of work by
ISO. You have been warned :-)
