comments on 21-February-2000 XLink WD from DuCharme, Robert on 2000-02-25 (www-xml-linking-comments@w3.org from January to March 2000) (original) (raw)

Sorry. I had a printout of a 10-Jan-2000 draft with written comments on it and was looking through the new one to see how many of my comments were still applicable, and I guess I got confused.

1. I believe we've also now removed all uses of XLink as a noun.

It's still in the second paragraph of 3.1, which is the only place I ever saw it.

1. So it's "make recognizable." Perhaps the heavy noun phrase at the end could be moved up: "Document creators can use the XLink global attributes to make recognizable as XLink elements the elements in their own namespace,

or even in a namespace they don't control." What do you think?

That looks better, although I should have noticed "recognizable" originally.

1. "conceptually a subset of extended links...syntactically different." That nails it.

Again, I apologize for not paying closer attention when checking last month's notes against this month's draft.
