    Posted 11-01-2002 17:47
    CHANGE REQUEST: In Section A.3 Structured types, item 1., paragraph starting with "1, change second sentence from: "This requires the structured data, including its tags and attributes, to be identified and treated as an instance of the data-type xsi:string." To: "This requires the structured data <AttributeValue> to be given the DataType="xsi:string". For example, a structured data type that is actually a ds:KeyInfo/KeyName would appear in the Context as: <AttributeValue DataType="xsi:string"><ds:KeyName>jhibbert-key</ds:KeyName></AttributeValue> RATIONALE: Way#1 could be read as implying that the structured data type is automatically cast or converted to the type required by the function that references it. We should be very clear that this does NOT occur. Anne -- Anne H.
