  • 1.  PR on unit order

    Posted 12-31-2013 01:01
    Hi David, all, I noticed this change in the latest draft (sub-flows section): Old: "User agents coming later in the process MUST keep the <unit> elements in their initial order." Is now: New: "Writers MUST preserve the order of <unit> elements as initially set by the Extractor." I think the old version was better: a) it's a general PR rather than specific to writer: b) you can only ask an agent to keep the order it found in the document it read: it cannot know if this is the extractor order or not. (and if all agents respect this PR we will keep the extractor initial order) So maybe something like: "A agent MUST keep the <unit> elements in the same order it found them initially." That PR should probably be elsewhere than the sub-flows section: it's a general PR. Cheers, -ys
