Re: [tei-council] anyElement decisions

The problem is that it can contain namespaces and/or prefixed element names, and has to, so that we can exclude just the egXML element from the Examples namespace. Therefore it's not strictly a container for namespaces. On Mon, Nov 21, 2016 at 12:34 PM, Raffaele Viglianti < raffaeleviglianti@gmail.com> wrote:

I think @defaultExclusions should indicate that it's about namespaces. Especially because it's on schemaSpec, it could mean anything. What about just @exludens? This is to say that dropping "default" is better than dropping "namespace" because the fact that the attribute is on schemaSpec already indicates its broad scope.

Following up by posting a summary of the decisions we made during Thursday's Council meeting regarding anyElement:

1. The @include attribute on anyElement will be renamed @require, which better summarizes its function.

Agreed

2. A new attribute will be added to schemaSpec which will list the default

...

name/namespace exceptions for RelaxNG schemas. Suggested name is defaultExceptionNS. I'm not 100% certain on that, because I'd like to allow single name exclusions as well, like teix:egXML (i.e. the egXML element itself, which can have an @xml:id). Maybe just @defaultExclusions?

I'm not crazy about the name either: @defaultExclusions is fine

3. Specify how #2 interacts with @require and @except on anyElement.

...

If @require is present on anyElement, all default exceptions apply in the generated RNG, and no additional exceptions should be specified on the anyElement. But if a namespace in the default exclusion list is in @require, it will not be excluded.

Can we stick to one terminology pls? ("exclusion" and "exception" are not quite the same thing: in my SGML-addled mind you can have an "inclusion exception")

So I think we have

@defaultExclusions on schemaSpec

@exclude on anyElement @require on anyElement

If anyElement supplies neither, then names and namespaces specified by schemaSpec are excluded. If anyElement supplies @require, then names and namespaces it specifies must be permitted even if they are excluded by schemaSpec or by @exclude attributes? or is that an error? or a warning?) If anyElement supplies @exclude, the names and namespaces specified are combined with any specified by schemaSpec

...

If @except is present on anyElement, its content overrides the default exclusions.

I would say (as indeed I just have) the ns it suppolies are additrional to those specified by the schemaSpec.
