   RE: [xml-dev] descripton of the logical or semantic structure ?

[ Lists Home | Date Index | Thread Index ]

The XML specification does not use the term "semantic structure". It uses
the word "semantic" twice:

(a) to say that it does not constrain the semantics of elements and
attributes, other than those whose names beging with "xml"

(b) in 3.3.1, to say that the tokenized attributes such as ID, IDREFS "have
varying lexical and semantic constraints".

These two statements are unfortunately contradictory, but then it's unusual
to find two uses of the word "semantics" that attach the same meaning to the
word.
