    Subject: 2.4.6 Cursor Position Setting


    Greetings,
    
    2.4.6 Cursor Position Setting, first paragraph reads:
    
    A common view setting for editing applications is the position where the 
    text cursor was while saving the document. For WYSIWYG application, this 
    usually will be a position within a paragraph only. For application that 
    provide an XML based view of the document, the cursor position could be 
    also between arbitrary elements, or even within tags.
    
    Suggest:
    
    WYSIWYG application -> WYSIWYG applications
    
    For application -> For applications
    
    The second paragraph reads:
    
    To represent a text cursor position within Open Office documents, a 
    processing instruction with PITarget openoffice (see �2.6 of [XML1.0]) 
    should be used. The character content of the processing instruction must 
    follow the XML start tag content, that is, it must have a name and an 
    arbitrary number of attributes. The name of the cursor position 
    processing instruction is cursor-position. It may have arbitrary 
    application specific attributes, for instance to connect the cursor 
    position with a certain view of the document, where the views themselves 
    are specified as application specific settings.
    
    Comment:
    
    Since this is the only place where processing instructions are 
    specified, shouldn't we simply say that the required name is 
    cursor-position, as opposed to saying it must have a name and then 
    saying it is cursor-position?
    
    The reason I mention this is that 'name' is used in the productions of 
    XML 1.0 to define the PITarget. Granted 'name' in another sense but 
    possibly confusing in a quick read.
    
    Suggest:
    
    To represent a text cursor position within Open Office documents, a 
    processing instruction with PITarget openoffice (see �2.6 of [XML1.0]) 
    should be used. The name of the cursor position processing instruction, 
    cursor-position, must follow the PITarget openoffice. The processing 
    instruction may have arbitrary application specific attributes, for 
    instance to connect the cursor position with a certain view of the 
    document, where the views themselves are specified as application 
    specific settings.
    
    Hope everyone is having a great day!
