On Behalf Of Chris Lilley Sent: Sunday, April 04, 1999 8:33 PM To: xsl-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: SUMMARY: XML Validation Issues (was: several threads) <snip> I don't sense consensus yet on whether client-side validation is always desirable; it clearly is in some cases and clearly adds little in other cases. <snip> This is controversial however it might be useful to try to agree on a 'point of stability' <snip> The assertion has been made that client-side validation is a performance load, compared to just parsing the dtd looking for fixed attributes etc; but no performance figures were made available. If someone has a parser they could instrument and provide some actual measurements on real-world data, that would help. <snip> Speaking as an old modeler/simulator/etc., we would/should probably define some scenarios here...<sigh> that deal with numerous questions: - Where does the document 'reside'? - Where the DTD resident? - How large are each? - Has anything new happened with the fragment standards work? - Have we figured out how to serialize or otherwise condense/compact/index the content? The schema? These questions and dozens of others point to the innate immaturity of the specification(s). I feel there is enough in the current versions of the various standards and drafts (with clarifications, etc.) to deal with at the moment from the standpoint of uptake, adoption and implementation. (Again I'm wearing the assessors/adopter's hat; not the developers' or the innovators' or the opportunizers'.) What would be very useful as an extension of Ken Sall's list of points would be a prioritized 'agenda' that somehow takes into account the many, many innovations -- implicit and explicit -- that are happening in and around the various X-specs. What would be more than one could hope for would then be a time-line for evolution and implementation. ...edN XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
