scripting in xhtml
Preface:

This is a follow up to a discussion about coordination of the script element in HTML, SVG and XSLT based on substantial discussion on the XSL-List and a few on the SVG list. Some background messages are:
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-svg/2001Mar/0008.html - 0011.html and almost anything recent in http://www.biglist.com/lists/xsl-list/archives/200103.


Clark Evans suggested a distinct Script initiative to coordinate the distinct script elements in XHTML, SVG and XSLT 1.1. Jon Ferraiolo thought that might be the best long term solution (http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-svg/2001Mar/0010.html). I guess my question is what is the short term solution.

Would it be possible to execute a distinct XML Script effort (possibly as part of XHTML modularization?) that SVG and XSLT 1.1 could use without disrupting SVG's march to recommendation?

Maybe we could at least informally collect the requirements:

1. Must be usable in XHTML, SVG and XSLT
2. Should be compatible with XHTML 1.0 script.
3. Syntax must support behavior implemented in major scripting languages.
4. Syntax must support behavior implemented in major component technologies (Java, COM, CORBA, .NET).
5. Behavior may be identified with a namespace URI
6. Specification of multiple implementations for a specific behavior namespace must be allowed.
7. Processor must be allowed to choose preferred implementation.
8. Processor may resolve behavior through RDDL, Classpaths, COM registry, CORBA naming servers, etc and ignore script declarations.
9. Spec must address under what conditions script names must or must not be qualified with a namespace prefix when referenced from outside the script element.
10. An XML application (that is SVG or XSLT) must be able to either require or forbid namespace identification of behavior and prefix qualification of script names.
11. A document must be able to indicate whether failure to locate a script resource should prevent a document from being displayed.
