In the terminology of XML Fragment, an "XBL subtree" is defined as
"fragment body" [...]
What about saying: An XBL subtree is a fragment body in an XML
documentâ
It isn't clear to me that this would be beneficial to the readers
of the
XBL specification.
Fair enough. Though difficult to test.
The XML Fragment specification is not a widely read one
amongst the target audience of the XBL spec, so terms from that
specification should probably not be assumed to be well understood.
The comment was made to try to minimize a side effect. People outside
W3C Working Groups when reading our specifications send comments
saying that there are too many ways of saying the same thing, for
example, the translators communities.
Also, the term "subtree" is well-understood in computer science,
and the
key part of the definition of "XBL subtree" is the root of the subtree
being an <xbl> element, it isn't the "subtree" part (which is the only
part of the definition that would change if we used "fragment body"
instead).
ok.
Finally, the term you cite from the XML Fragment specification is
defined
in terms of the lexical representation of an XML document, whereas
in XBL
there might never actually be a lexical representation -- an XBL
subtree
can exist purely in the form of a DOM tree constructed using DOM
methods.
Therefore the vaguer definition as currently given is actually more
accurate in the context of XBL.
In conclusion, I do not feel your proposal would be a good one, and
have
therefore not made any change to the specification. However, if you
disagree, please let me know, so that your disagreement can be clearly
marked in the disposition of comments.
no needs to push further the issue.
Thanks for your answer Ian and Bjoern (separate thread).
