[dsdl-discuss] Re: DSDL Part 9 - revised draft almost ready forFinalCD ballot?

Hi Mohamed

I have made the corrections that you suggest, but I'm a bit unsure about the
references to external definitions of some of the tokens in my syntax
productions. Please could you review and let me know if I'm anywhere closer
to having them correct? I'm particularly concerned about 'name-token-group'
and 'system-identifier', as I've had to replace spaces with hyphens in order
to fit in with the notation that I'm using. Maybe they should be explicitly
defined in this part? Or maybe I should use the notation of Web SGML rather
than of XML to avoid this confusion?

Francis
