Hi, This is a QA Review comment for "XHTML 2.0" http://www.w3.org/TR/2006/WD-xhtml2-20060726/ 2006-07-26 8th WD
About http://www.w3.org/TR/2006/WD-xhtml2-20060726/terms.html The definitions are sometimes not very clear and difficult to understand. Check XHTML 2.0 definitions against the W3C Glossary. For example, some definitions seem to be trapped in a model. "abstract module a unit of document type specification corresponding to a distinct type of content, corresponding to a markup construct reflecting this distinct type." and then in the same page "module an abstract unit within a document model expressed as a DTD fragment, used to consolidate markup declarations to increase the flexibility, modifiability, reuse and understanding of specific logical or semantic structures." What about a module defined with a schema and not a DTD? The definition varies with regards to the one done on QA Glossary. " Module A collection of semantically related features that represents a unit of functionality." - http://www.w3.org/QA/glossary.html#module Another example "driver a generally short file used to declare and instantiate the modules of a DTD. A good rule of thumb is that a DTD driver contains no markup declarations that comprise any part of the document model itself." "Good rule of thumb" is not appropriate in a definition section. Double check all definitions with technical writers and implementers outside of the WG. People inside the WG know too much the technology to have a different light on the technology. -- Karl Dubost - http://www.w3.org/People/karl/ W3C Conformance Manager, QA Activity Lead QA Weblog - http://www.w3.org/QA/ *** Be Strict To Be Cool ***
