[dsdl-discuss] Re: FDIS for Part 8

Here are some comments. Probably some of them are too late, or are old
issue: I apologize where that is the case.

s5. The text about the (ugly!) form
 <dsrl:from xmlns:old="xxx">old:something</dsrl:from>
the text seems to suggest that the namespace declaration has to be on
the actual from element, rather than it being anywhere. If it must be on
the dsrl:from element, then there is no reason to use XML namespaces
conventions at all, you could have an attribute "namespace". I would
change the example so that the namespace declarations were on the parent
map, which I think it better practice anyway.

S6.7 Note #2. Typo? Should be "entity" not "attribute"

In the XSLT code, I think all named templates should use a namespace
prefix for their name. (I only found out that this was possible from Ken
recently.) I am thinking of adding my Schematron implementation to the
ISO schematron text in the same fashion as Martin has done for DSRL, and
that would be one of the changes I would put in.

Cheers
Rick Jelliffe
