I think it's almost ready. I have one or two points I'd like to fix, but I haven't worked on it since the email you responded to was written. The biggest issue, one that I think need author guidance, is which of the table formats to use. There have been many suggestions on the layout of the tables, specially for the column that shows the number of allowed elements. See my previous mail to see the tables in all their glory, but it boils down to the space used: +==============+===+=============================+ | Element name | # | Content | +==============+===+=============================+ The short column name is beneficial because it leaves more space for the content column. The value of the '#' column may be: " " (empty): OPTIONAL element "R": REQUIRED element "*": 0 or more elements "+": 1 or more elements "*" and "+" can be understood like in regexp syntax. +==============+==========+=============================+ | Element name | Required | Content | +==============+==========+=============================+ +==============+=======+=============================+ | Element name | Req'd | Content | +==============+=======+=============================+ The name is more explicit and wider. The cost is one or two pages extra compared to the "#" alternative above. For these two, the value of the 'Required' column may be: No: OPTIONAL Yes: REQUIRED No *: 0 or more elements Yes *: 1 or more elements I also wrote about using "0..n" and "1..n" as synonyms for "No *" and "Yes *", but I think that is less clear. If we do not want to use notation to signal an unbounded amount of elements, we can add something like the following immediately after the table: The maximum number of "foobar" elements is unbounded. I think it's time for the draft author to make a decision, and I'll adjust accordingly.
