The functions could be defined in the same style as the XPath2/XQuery Functions and Operators spec [2], i.e. make them namespaced? "di-cssmq-width" -> "sel:cssmq-width". That would allow XPath2 engines to use the functions without any ambiguity about where they come from.
We intend to implement the use of namespaces with the XPath functions that we define
There are many typos in the spec, mostly missing spaces following code or anchor tag.
We will review and correct the formatting of the entire document. Thanks for pointing this out
Section 5 is confusing because one doesn't know the structure of each element until 5.10. I would suggest examples in each section. Or even better, something like:
5.1 Overview 5.2 Conditional Processing 5.2.1 if 5.2.2 select (describe when/otherwise here) 5.3 Options 5.3.1 idreplace 5.3.2 process 5.3.3 required
The primary issue is that the internal structure of the <select> element is not apparent at the start of section 5. While we accept that there can be an improvement here but recognise that we need to ensure that all of the elements be defined in sections that appear at the same nesting level in the TOC to make them easy to spot.
We have reorganised the section along the lines described in the comment.
This is a formal last call comment to which I request a response from the working group during disposition of comments.
It seems to me that the design of Content Selection for Device Independence massively violates section 4.3 of the Architecture of the World Wide Web, "Separation of Content, Presentation, and Interaction". It is inappropriate to place the rules for specifying which devices should display which parts of a document in the document itself.
I have no objection to writing stylesheets that tailor the display of content to particular device profiles. However, it should be presented as a separate document, not as a part of the original document. Possibly a new stylesheet language is needed to enable this.
Among other problems, the current approach will cause troubles for non-CSDI aware processors which will see additional markup in the document they are not prepared to handle, and which may hide and obscure the markup they expect. It also makes the documents harder to generate, and requires document authors to concern themselves with both content and presentation when the document is first created. It mean that schema will need to be adjusted to support this markup. I could go on. I am frankly astonished to see at this late date a W3C working group effectively ignoring the well-known principle of separating content from presentation.
Codi is a spec for describing how and indeed whether content should be presented on particular devices. Separation of presentation from content mandates that the Codi information not be mixed with the documents it describes.
DIWG has long recognised the importance of the separation of content and presentation. The group's views on the requirements for device independence are documented in http://www.w3.org/TR/acdi/. A number of the group's members have significant, practical experience of large-scale implementations of device independent authoring systems that themselves provide separation of concerns.
DIWG is engaged in creation of a number of related techniques that aid authors in creating device independent materials. The individual items are documented in our charter at http://www.w3.org/2004/05/di-charter-2004-06.html.
In particular, in the authoring space, we are pursuing work on physical layout of material, semantic enrichment, and mechanisms for aggregation and decomposition. The work is focused on creating modules that can be added to XHTML Version 2 and XForms, to enhance those specifications for situations where authors require to create materials that can be used across a variety of devices. However, the group is also engaged in work to extend CSS to support, for example, mechanisms for page layout that are independent of the page markup.
DISelect (our preferred acronym for the content selection work) forms just a part of this overall profile.
It is the group's intent that DISelect be available to authors writing in, for example, XHTML 2, but it is not the intent that such markup be restricted to that use. Consider the task of providing different versions of an image for different devices. This is a common requirement in situations where transcoding alone gives inappropriate results. In this situation, a markup that defines a set of images to be used under different conditions could be formed of a host language that includes DISelect as a module. A reference to an image from an XHTML 2 object element might be resolved by a processor that made the appropriate selection between alternative representations using DISelect. In this case, the DISelect markup would not be in the document containing the XHTML 2 markup itself. Indeed it might not even be in the same system.
In a similar example, DISelect might be used only to control the inclusion of materials from different sources, for example using XInclude. Once again, there is the possibility of a clear separation of concerns.
Sometimes, content selection is required even where the content is itself device independent and the reason for using it is not really associated with presentation but rather the semantics of the operation. A simple example is when the abstract for a news article is sent to a device rather than the full text of the article. The most convenient way to arrange this may be for there to be a separate resource for the abstract and for the article and for contnent selection to be used to determin which is sent. Again, in this example, there is no need for the selection markup to be in the same resource as either of the forms of the article.
Experience with practical implementations indicates that there is a real need for content selection to be available in a variety of ways to support authors in creation of materials that can be used on a variety of devices.
As with most things, though, such capabilities are open to misuse.
DIWG agrees with this comment to the extent that we believe it reflects a lack of clarity in some of the description. DIWG had hoped that its work on its language profile would be sufficiently advanced to allow it to be referenced from the DISelect specification. Unfortunately, that has not proved to be the case, and the working draft of that work is not yet public. In the absence of that document, we propose to:
The reserved characters should &, <, and > should not be used as operators in a language that appears in XML contexts. The double escaping this requires is hard to read and confusing. For instance, consider this:
<p sel:expr="di-cssmq-width('px') > 200 & di-cssmq-color() > 0"> <object src="image1" sel:selid="artimg42" sel:selidName="myns:myid"/> </p>
Isn't this easier to understand?
<p sel:expr="di-cssmq-width('px') GT 200 AND di-cssmq-color() GT 0"> <object src="image1" sel:selid="artimg42" sel:selidName="myns:myid"/> </p>
I'm not sure AND, GT, and LT are necessarily the best alternatives to &, <, and >. That can be discussed. However we know from experience with XSLT and most especially URL query strings that using these three characters in attribute values confuses users and makes the langauge harder to learn and harder to use. Let's not repeat the mistakes of the past.
There's no need to overload reserved characters like this.
While DIWG agrees that the syntax of XPath expressions used within XML documents is less than elegant, it is mandated by XPath. Where XPath is used within an XML document, such as XSLT or DISelect, escaping is mandated. There is a note to this effect in the discussion of Booleans in the XPath specification (see http://www.w3.org/TR/xpath#booleans).
XPath is already widely used within W3C specifications and creation of an entirely new syntax just for DISelect would be inappropriate. DISelect is also intended for use with other specifications, such as XForms, which also use XPath expressions. In such mixed environments, consistency is a key factor.
DIWG has decided to retain the use of XPath and hence the need for escaping.
Here are some minor editorial comments:
1. Section 4.3 The selid and selidName Attributes
Last line in that section "Section 4.4 Using the Attributes illustrates the use of the expr attribute" I guess you mean "Section 4.4 Using the Attributes illustrates the use of the selid and selidName attribute" 2. Section 5.3.1 Attributes For precept attribute. It would be good to add a line that says: "It can take one of the following values: " that can avoid confusion. It has been done for section 5.8.1.
3. Section 5.10 using the elements. In the last example that shows the use of Options and select, within the first "when" element, you probably need to escape the "and" with &
4.Section 3.2.1 diselect-reprocess Event.
Can you be a bit more specific about how the event will be handled? for example use XML events? An example would help (something like <sel:process type="every" ev:event="diselect-reprocess" ev:handler="http://uri/to#handler"/>)
We have changes the relevant parts of the document to address the errors noted in this comment. For all the comments we have modified the text as specified in the comment. For the clarification, we have ammended the description of the way in which teh diselect-reprocess event is raised external to the processor.
1. The spec allows you to ask questions about the size of the window, and about the display size (resolution and colours) of the entire device. This seems of limited use except in allowing authors to determine a layout for the fullscreen and then if there is a difference just put in a message like "move to fullscreen to get the page". This seems to me a bad thing to encourage. I am wondering if there are things that make it more useful? (The only one I could think of was knowing that if the user is at fullscreen they don't see other windows, etc... I am not sure if this should be exposed to authors...)
The particular functions described in the document are equivalents of those proposed for CSS Media Queries. We have deliberately retained exactly the same function as is used in that specification.
2. There is no clear way in the spec of finding out the user's font size. Most modern browsers have implemented a minimum font size setting, because users wanted it. Finding out what that is would be extremely helpful for authors, whereas just giving them the pixel size of the screen forces them to make guesses about the font size being used.
The particular functions described in the document are equivalents of those proposed for CSS Media Queries. We have deliberately retained exactly the same function as is used in that specification. There is no function currently in CSS MQ for font size determination.
It is worth noting that the set of functions is described in the specification as a starter set. Extensions that provide additional XPath functions are explicitly allowed and authors are supported in using them. Because other comments have indicated that this may not be clear from the document, DIWG is restructuring the document into two. One deals with the markup and expressions independent from the functions, and the other describes the set of functions.
3. Section 4.3 discusses the use of selid as an attribute that allows you to specify something which will turn into an ID in the result document - repeating it for several alternative pieces of content. When this is converted, the spec requires a default attribute name to be specified. It seems more sensible to default to xml:id. Instead the specification talks of a language profile that "somehow" defines the attribute that this should become, but does not appear to specify anywhere how this actually occurs or what such a profile looks like. As an alternative to xml:id as a default, it would seem important to clearly specify how such a profile is constructed
This is an excellent suggestion and we have incorporated it. We have changed the description associated with the selid and selidName attributes accordingly. We have retained the ability for a language profile to specify a default id name of other than xml:id and have provided a reference to the way in which this can be achieved via the idreplace element.
4. Section 9.12.2 describes the function of a test for resolution, but simply says that it is a decimal number. It should give units, which apparently (from the explanation in an example, explicitly marked informative) are intended to be dpi.
Because of the general difficulty of returning multiple values from function and method invocation, DIWG has adopted a different approach in its XPath functions. The units in which a value is required is an input parameter. You can see this in the function protptype in section 9.12.1. The units parameter is a string in which the author must define the units in which the value is to be returned. In the example you cite, the author has supplied the value dpi which is one of the standard units recognised by CSS. We describe the use of these in section 9.15. It is a responsibility of the implementation of the function to verify that the units value is appropriate for the property being requested and to perform any conversion required. The value returned by the function is always the value of the property in the units specified in the call.
5. Section 5.8 allows the author to control re-rendering, by suppressing the ability to recalculate what content should be included. This seems like a bad idea, since while it can be used to allow an author to force a user into a particular font size, window configuration, etc, I don't see any positive effects for it.
The ability to suppress rerendering is really important for usability. If many events on a device, for example, could force the page to be rerendered, the device might spend all its time rerendering. We need to allow authors to be in a position to control when rerendering occurs.
Although we have to decline this comment as written, since control of rerendering is an important usability consideration, we are addressing improvements in the granularity of control of reprocessing via changes in the way that events are defined. We are addressing these changes in the response to Gilman-10.
6. Navigating the specification document would have been easier with at least a link element to its table of contents
DIWG has sympathy with this comment. We are, however, constrained, to some degree, by the W3C tools that we have chosen to use to create the specification. We will improve the navigation by preparing a version of the specification as a set of HTML files, in addition to the single HTML file version. To this extent, we accept the comment.
The WG accept the formal objection to be reported to the director.
DI Select does not require describing the content in order to adapt it to author specified scenarios.
This use case is not within the scope of those against which DISelect was developed. However, combinations of technologies such as XInclude together with DISelect might provide a solution.
Future work planned by DIWG on semantic enrichment might provide an appropriate environment in which to pursue the notion of combination of DISelect with annotation metadata in providing solutions for such use cases.
We will add some text in an appropriate overview section to clarify the scope and the fact that this markup is intended to be used within a larger set of modules that include markup capable of supporting semantic enrichment. By support of semantic enrichment we mean support of the XHTML 2 role attribute
1. Please confirm that the full delivery context information space, and properties of entities in the current host-language document can be used inside the guard expressions that provide the values of 'expr' and 'when' attributes.
In summary, DIWG agrees with this comment. The following response indicates the changes we plan to make. We'll respond more fully with details of the actual changes once they have been determined.
XPath expressions within the expr attribute can use any information available to the processor. The specification explicitly discusses extensions by way of additional XPath functions and provides the means by which authors can check for the availability of the functions on which their expressions may depend.
However, the specification only explicitly discusses a 'starter set' of functions which mimick the capabilities of the proposed CSS Media Queries specification. It is certainly not the intention of DIWG to imply that this is the only set of functions that can be used. We recognise that the current structure of the document can lead to this impression, which is certainly not what we intend. To try and address this, DIWG intends to split the definition of functions into a separate document. At the same time, we will define additional functions which broaden the capability of the specifications. We recognise that this will entail a second last call for the specification.
The point about access to the host language document is interesting and is an example of a more general case for access to materials other those within the delivery context itself. The comment exposes the potential need for a way to identify the particular XML document to which an expression or part of an expression applies. DIWG will define functions that make explicit which XML document is being referenced by expressions. These capabilities will be modelled on those used to identify model instances in XForms. The functions will be described in the new document that defines specific XPath functions.
Further, we note suggestions, in a related comment (Gilman-6), about possible sources of content that could be used in examples to accompany description of access to items in the host document.
2. Please write the examples to model best practice.
In particular:
When setting 'class' attributes, set semantic values, not presentation-effect-soundalike values [1]. Use Attribute Value Templates to insert tokens into the list in the 'class' attribute value, don't set the value and obliterate pre-existing information.
Examples should favor using content properties in these expressions rather than just literal thresholds compared with delivery context properties. The 'metadata for content adaptation' workshop [2] may suggest common and educative examples of content properties to touch on. Also the IMS Accessibility Profile [3].
Exemplify the full visibility of the expression space; do not only or over-use the convenience functions.
Some examples should use delivery-context properties that reflect user preferences or settings as opposed to just hardware properties. See the IMS profile for good choices.
In summary, DIWG agrees with this comment. The following response indicates the changes we plan to make. We'll respond more fully with details of the actual changes once they have been determined.
The example in section 7.1 is valid from a device independence standpoint. We need to retain it because it is relevant and represents and example of the simplest kind of use case. However, we will add examples that illustrate the additional use case of adding to a list of classes. We would point out that changing a class name in itself does not necessarily militate against good accessibility practice. An author might do that explicitly in order to provide a better overall experience for people with, for example, lower visual acuity.
The selection of the particular names for the classes in the example is unfortunate. It is certainly not meant to indicate the content of the CSS. This is the case which Tantek Celic correctly argues against in the cited paper. The names were meant to indicate that the author considered this to be a class suitable for use on a device with certain types of capability. In this particular case, grey referred to the device capability not the content of the stylesheet. In any case, we will clarify this and will use names less open to misinterpretation.
In addition, to the explicit changes in the current document we are preparing a primer document that will provide more extensive examples of the use of DISelect.
The basic idea is to support UAAG10, Guideline 2 "Ensure User Access to All Content." The processing of DISelect semantics is intended to be able to be performed either on the client side or the server side. The critical fact is that it is performed for each user hit on a resource; whatever is known about the delivery context is known before this processing takes place. That means that it creates a great opportunity and should fall heir to the UAAG requirements wherever the UAAG requires that something be configurable to user need and/or preference. This means that the hooks have to be there to let the user profile the down-select to pick *their* best, or multiple of the available options, regardless of the precepts and rules established by the author.
User experience with real web content has shown that people with disabilities often find content targeted to WAP devices, or content targeted for printing, adaptive over the baseline user experience profile. The author cannot be expected to fully understand the factors active in the delivery context that make one option superior or inferior. So the processing environment should make all choices at this stage advisory; not binding. This is not data in XML, this is user interface in web dialogs. This processing needs to be better integrated into a mixed-initiative process by which user and server resolve the user experience profile to mutual satisfaction.
Access Ideal
One revision of this technology that some might consider best for access would be:
There is a tension between the aims of UAAG10, of those that wish to protect some groups of users from inappropriate content,(reference to the metadata workshop in Dublin) and the physical capabilities of devices. DISelect needs to take account of all of the reasons why content selection may be needed and hence must have capabilities that might not conform to the needs of any one in particular.
Considering first the case of device capabilities, there are many examples today of situations in which it is impossible to send material to allow user selection. There are well known situations in which sending material intended for a different device, perhaps using an entirely different markup language, will cause it to crash. Worse, there are known cases where inappropriate content can damage the device to the point where it needs to be returned to the manufacturer. Although such situations should improve in future, one aim of DISelect is to support the currently available range of devices, so considerations like this are of great importance.
In the case of inappropriate conent, there are groups who need to ensure that, for example, adult material is not sent to devices being used by minors. Any scheme that only supports user selection of content at the device cannot be used as part of a system that supports such use cases.
DIWG is sympathetic to the aims of UAAG10, but feels that it would be inappropriate to try and use DISelect to enforce appropriate author behaviour. We suggest that a better solution would be to expand WCAG to cover appropriate use of DISelect to support accessibility.
DIWG also suggests that guidelines like UAAG10, while appropriate for current and legacy technologies, lack some ambition in environments where better semantic information, better information about user preferences and distributed adaptation can truely tailor user experience for a much wider variety of users. It should surely not be the case that simply because someone has a disability that they are forced manually to tailor their user experience? DIWG would like to see the possibilities of adaptation together with proactive involvement from assistive technologies, provide an environment in which the vast majority of users with or without disabilities can be served without having them having to intervene manually.
Author influence over content selection must be modified to make the balance and flow of decision resolution approximate what has been set out for the 'override' attribute in SMIL. The basic idea is that the easiest thing for the user to get is exactly the way the author envisioned it, but that the functions are there for the user to inspect and override any choices between alternatives.
I suspect that the DI WG meant to support this capability by including the option of client-side application of DISelect processing. What appears to be missing is the mechanism by which the client gains control of DISelect processing and the server responds by deferring DISelect processing to the client which has expressed both the capability and the preference to carry out this processing. Demonstrating this negotiated handoff is a function that should be on the checklist for the CR -to- PR transition.
The reasons why it is not possible in general to allow content simply to flow to the UA for user choice have already been discussed in the response to Gilman-1. Alternative mechanisms to provide better means of influencing user experience have also been addressed there.
This comment does raise the issue of distribution of adaptation and the protocols required to allow one DISelect processor to inform another of its capabilities. This protocol is considered outside the scope of the DISelect specification itself.
The dialog gesture that is missing from the processing concept of this format is the occasional use of a menu by which the user interactively selects an option. This has to be use sparingly; automation will allow us to make the user experience personalized much more than users could manage in this way; but the fabric supporting the automated personalization must retain the support for the "menu of minimized choices" alternative so that the user is not cut off by the severely limited concept set included in the 'starter functions' set out here.
This may be important authomation for the evolutionary introduction of this capability, so that there is a standard preform for the user to communicate preferences to the server via a form as an alternative to CC/PP. That could be achieved by a top-level application of this "menu-ize" recovery option.
DIWG agrees with this comment to the extent that it illustrates the need for functions to be able to update the delivery context.
CC/PP is the transport mechanism for delivery context and should form the basis for its transmission. DIWG does not believe that developing an alternative mechanism is appropriate. However, DIWG recognises that the storage of delivery context is a matter of implementation for any system that supports it, be it client or server based.
DIWG will address the specification of at least one function capable of updating delivery context within the new XPath function document it proposes to create.
The discussion of the HTML 'class' attribute as "CSS class" in section 7.1 is counter to the correct use of HTML and CSS. In the correct use, the 'class' marks denote content characteristics and the style *rules* in the stylesheed allocate presentation effects to the content fragments based on the semantic (meaning-oriented) information in the 'class' marks refining the path, element-type, etc. information sensed by selectors.
DIWG believes this is the same issue as WAI-2 and we deal with it under that identifier. Declining it here does not imply that we do not accept the comment, merely that we believe it to duplicate another comment.
The 'class' attribute in XForms host languages and HTML historically is a collection of category-membership marks. In other words, the 'class' mechanism provides multiple-heredity refinement of the object class system starting from the element type defined in the format syntax. Well-ordered presentation processing downstream from this content selection function requires the same content information as is implicit in the design of the content-selection thresholds. Nothing in the design of the content-selection criteria should be presumed to know that certain informationi is *not* required for later adaptation of the presentation.
In this context it would be more appropriate for this phase of processing to add to the 'class' marking of a host element, not rewrite it.
This is not a change to the AVT capability, but the example should be rewritten to show accessible practice in this regard.
DIWG believes this is the same issue as WAI-2 and we deal with it under that identifier. Declining it here does not imply that we do not accept the comment, merely that we believe it to duplicate another comment.
Several of us took away the impression that all that could appear in a guard expression (inside the syntax set out in section 8.1) was glue logic, literals, and calls to the "starter set" functions modeled after CSS Media Queries. I have been advised, that no, anything in the delivery context is nameable in admissible XPath expressions, as well as element properties for elements in the host-language document being processed.
Please a) confirm by your own review of the specification logic and b) exemplify in examples in the document the use.
Further, please mine the results of the "metadata for content adaptation" workshop for good content properties to use in illustrations. And mine the IMS Accessibility Profile for good delivery context facets to illustrate.
DIWG believes this is the same issue as WAI-1 and we deal with it under that identifier. We do note the suggestions about sources of content for use in examples. Declining this comment does not imply that we do not accept it, merely that we believe it to duplicate another comment.
Device Independence and Accessibility will both be better served by the author's use of basic, objective content properties (that would port unmodified to address an expanded list of delivery contexts) rather than hard-wired thresholds to compare delivery context facets to. But most people will first do the least that they can to get up and running. So there is likely to be a lot of dysfunctional code fielded before people learn how to use this capability to best effect. And people with disabilities may be left out in the cold during the interim. Just how to get best practice and its advantages for the author across is something that we should discuss.

DIWG agrees that discussion on this topic, perhaps in the context of an expanded set of best practices for WCAG or MWIBP would be useful. In the interests of completeness of responses, we are recording and declining this comment not because we disagreee, but because we believe this is outside the scope of DISelect. We will follow up in a different forum.
The list of starter XPATH functions must be expanded to support all size calls with a length unit of 'em.' Actually, the comment is "support the full css2:length production." Note this inclues 'em,' 'ex,' as well as 'px.' The 'em' unit in particular is required to support the election of brief-text options when the user has elected large fonts, despite what on first glance would seem to be an ample screen.
The function description should then be expanded to make clear (with the concurrence of CSS WG) that when ci-cssmq-grid is True, the size queries will yield numbers (the number of cells per line for width and lines per display for height) when the size functions are queried with 'em' as the unit and return errors otherwise.
DIWG agrees that access to metrics based on font size is desirable. However, the starter set functions merely replicate the capabilities of CSS Media Queries as currently defined. Since that is their declared purpose, it would be inconsistent to extend them.
However, as is noted in the response to comment WAI-1, DIWG will expand the set of XPath functions to include more general mechanisms for access. Such functions would be capable of retrieving font-size based information if that is available in the delivery context.
So, while DIWG declines to extend the starter set functions, we believe that other facilites will make this information available to authors if it is available within the delivery context.
If the 'expr' attribute is absent, even in an 'if' element, it is not an error and the content is retained. If the 'expr' attribute is set to an XPath expression that experiences a non-recoverable evaluation error, the whole process is aborted, denying the user access to this content. This is biased too far toward author control of the user experience against the user's right to access the information offered. To take advantage of user exerience profiling that works for them, people with disabilities need an overriding right of access to the content, as set forth in the UAAG quite clearly.
This issue is similar to Gilman-1. The problem we face is that an unrecoverable error in expression processing yields completely unpredicatble results, including XML that is invalid or badly formed. Allowing processing to continue could lead to effects similar to those we outlined in Gilman-1, including crashing or damaging the user's device, or showing completely inappropriate material to a minor.
In contrast, the default value of the expr attribute is specified so the behaviour obtained by omitting it is at least predictable.
In addition, by providing a default value, we ensure backwards compatibility when DISelect is added to a processor which processes existing markup written before the DISelect module was added.
When the DISelect processing is being performed client-side, this would appear to bar the user from obtaining some adjustments to the user experience that they would otherwise be able to reach by adjusting preferences and re-processing. What is the motivation for this option? Is it for efficiency when the author is confident that re-evaluation will yield the same result? If so, why not state the clause in terms of "if process=once then the processor MAY, when the document is reprocessed, retain the old value established the first time processed and not re-evaluate the expressions in the scope of this [directive]." Then the client-side processor will be sure not to be functionally impaired by the semantics of this feature.
The ability to suppress rerendering is really important for usability. If many events on a device, for example, could force the page to be rerendered, the device might spend a significant amount of time rerendering between user operations. We need to allow authors to be in a position to control when rerendering occurs to avoid this kind of usability issue.
In discussing this comment, and the related McCathieNevile-5, we have realised that there are deficiencies, in the level of control, that need to be addressed. Specifically, we expect to remove the <process> element and provide control of reprocessing via improvements in the event model. An author would need to capture the reprocess event explicitly in order to prevent reprocessing.
Where it says "XML Processors must use the XML Namespaces mechanism [XML Names] to recognize elments and attributes in this namespace." The language is unclear. Do you not contemplate host languages that implement this module within their own namespace, as with XForms in XHTML 2.0? Would it not be more clear and accurate to say "Conformant processors must recognize local names bound to these namespace URIs by [prefixes and] namespace declarations as prescribed in [XML Names] as representing the names as defined in this specification," or some such?
Note: this has to be a generic issue, given the general broughaha over how much semantics goes with a namespace declaration.
We do not intend to provide any mechanism to allow the inclusion of DISelect within other language's namespaces.
However, we agree with the point made in this comment that the wording is unclear. We have expanded the description in the section entitled 'The Namespaces' to make our intentions clear
The intent to import a capability from XPath is clear but it would seem that the language used to say this is imprecise. Isn't there a more precise way to say just what is being imported, here?
We agree with this comment. We have updated the description associated with AVTs. There is also an example of their use.
Is this used anywhere in this specification? Are you trying to reserve this URI? What does this URI have to do with "conformant processors" of this specification?
This is a typographical error in the current last call document. The namespace was introduced to allow the use of QNames on XPath functions used in expressions. Due to a subsequent misunderstanding of the XPath specifications, (an issue we are dealing with under Froumentin-1) we removed the use of QNames for functions but I omitted to remove the corresponding namespace. However, as a result of the likely resolution to Froumentin-1, we will reintroduce this, or an equivalent, namespace along with the use of QNames for XPath functions that can be used in DISelect expressions.
The specification prose says that an 'if' condition "allows control to be applied to "an arbitrary fragment" of the host language.
This is not true. Wrapping a content range in the host language in an 'if' element must preserve well-formedness. The 'if' may not start in the interior of one host language element and extend into the interior of a different element. There are much more general text ranges that can be selected with XPath than the set of fragments legal to wrap in a 'sel:if.' The term 'arbitrary fragment' should be reserved for classees of text ranges that are more general than what is true here.
We agree that this is an inappropriate use of the term arbitrary and implies more than we had intended. We will use more appropriate wording such as "The if element allows control to be applied to a wider range of xml document fragments than does the expr attribute alone."
Please compare with XML specification and CSS .content property. Use standard terms for standard XML ideas.
We agree and will use more suitable and more standard wording. New wording says:
The DISelect processor evaluates the expression. If the result has a boolean value of true, the element and all of its descendents appear in the result infoset. If it has a value of false, the element and its descendents are omitted from the result infoset. The attribute itself does not appear in the result infoset.
The wording in this section is IMHO non-standard and should be regularized. The following terms are suggested:
The exception handling model and terminology is meant to be completely consistent with that of XForms. For reasons of consistency, DIWG has chosen to retain that terminology. However there are typographic errors in this section which we will address in Gilman-17.
The nouns in the <dl> explanation of the categories *must* be aligned with the suffixes used in the event names. Also the prose in the paragraphs. In the current prose there are two concepts used (failure and error in the above lexicon) and three ways that each is alluded to. Fix it.
We agree and have corrected the typographical errors. We use the terms error and exception consistently throughout the document. Other changes in this area of the document are anticipated in order to address Gilman-10 and McCathieNevile-5.
1) It takes us back to the bad days of mixing content with presentation details. 2) The selection mechanism is reminiscent of the C #ifdef style of content selection, which has proven to be difficult to manage, and results in a spaghetti code that has to be tested on all combinations of platform before you can be reasonably sure that it is correctly organised.
DIWG agrees with the HTML group that mixing styling and content is generally undesirable, and it is not our intent to promote such practices. Just because something is possible does not make it desirable. XHTML, through the style attribute, makes mixing of style and content possible. That doesn' t automatically mean that such usage should be encouraged.
It is certainly not DIWG' s intent to promote DISelect as an alternative to existing styling methods. Indeed, we would anticipate it being used, for example, to allow fine control over which of a number of CSS stylesheets might be used for different devices. Selection itself might take place completely external to the document containing the content.
These more realistic uses of DISelect are difficult to use when trying to describe and illustrate the basic syntax. DIWG believes that the best way to encourage good practice in the use of DISelect is to publish a primer alongside the formal specification. Work on this document has begun and publication will occur sometime after that of the formal specification.
DIWG expects to issue a second last call for the DISelect specification shortly. There have been a significant number of modifications.
By the way, the DIWG' s experience of developing sites that can be used by a multitude of different kinds of device shows categorically that while it is possible to use XSLT and CSS to create different versions, it is impractical to do so. Modern mobile systems, for example, avoid direct use of XSLT for adaptation, though they do use it in other roles. Such systems must cope with thousands of different kinds of device.
In summary, we will not make any specific modifications to the DISelect specification in response to this comment, but we will introduce a primer to assist readers in understanding how DISelect can be used in practice.

It is possible that the main title of the report Familial Hypercholesterolemia is not the name you expected. Please check the synonyms listing to find the alternate name(s) and disorder subdivision(s) covered by this report.
Familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) is characterized by very high levels of total and low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, often called the "bad" cholesterol. The levels of another blood lipid, triglycerides, are usually normal and the levels of high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol (the "good" cholesterol) are typically low or normal. The condition greatly increases the risk of atherosclerosis (hardening of the arteries), which causes heart attacks, strokes and other serious vascular conditions. Untreated men with FH often develop symptoms of coronary heart disease (CHD) in their early forties and women, in their early fifties. If one or more other major risk factors for CHD are present, especially cigarette smoking and diabetes mellitus, the risk of developing symptomatic CHD is greatly increased. Women without other major risk factors for CHD may survive to old age without developing symptomatic disease. The current National Cholesterol Education Program Adult Treatment Panel III defines major CHD risk factors as cigarette smoking, high blood pressure, age (men 45 or older; women 55 or older), family history of premature CHD in parents or siblings (men before age 55; women before age 65) and HDL cholesterol below 40 mg/dL. Patients with diabetes are currently considered to have a risk for a heart attack (fatal or nonfatal) as great as those who have already had a heart attack.
In 1973, Joseph Goldstein and Michael Brown identified and characterized a cell membrane protein they called the LDL receptor and the mutations in the gene that interfered with its function. A normally functioning receptor lowers the blood levels of LDL cholesterol by taking up the particles (lipoproteins) that carry the bad cholesterol. A mutation in one of the genes caused a decrease either in the number or function of the receptors, resulting in the extreme LDL cholesterol elevations of FH. Goldstein and Brown became the first investigators to identify a mutation that caused a metabolic disorder when only a single abnormal gene was present. In 1985 they won the Nobel Prize in Medicine for this work. Since that time, other genes have been identified that cause severe hypercholesterolemia.
Almost all genes have two copies, one inherited from each parent's chromosome. A dominant mutation is expressed if only one copy is present. A recessive mutation must be present in both chromosomes. FH patients who carry a single mutation have heterozygous FH and those with a mutation on both chromosomes have homozygous FH.

Poland Study Abroad
Study Abroad in PolandStudying Abroad in Poland is available in a variety of different forms.
Poland Overview
Located in the heart of Europe, Poland has a radically different look about it these days, having exchanged the grayish tinge of a state-regulated society for the anything-goes attitude of a private enterprise. Polish people have vigorously maintained a distinct sense of culture and community despite the trend towards a more modern life. Also, Polish hospitality is legendary, and there's a natural progression from a chance meeting to an introduction to the extended family. A diverse range of activities is available for all to enjoy such as basking in the sun on the beautiful Baltic coastal beaches, camping and hiking on the rocky mountain peaks, and soaking up Polish culture in one of the many historical institutes or breathtaking cathedrals.
Jasna Gora Monastery - This beautiful monastery located in Czestochowa (just a two hour bus ride from Krakow) has been a pilgrimage destination for hundreds of years. People from not only all over Poland but also all over the world visit Jasna Gora to view the magnificent painting of the Virgin Mary also known as the Black Madonna of Czestochowa.
Auschwitz- Every year more than 1 million people visit the Auschwitz Birkenau concentration camps located in Southern Poland about 50 kilometers west of Krakow. Once the town of Oswiecim, it was renamed Auschwitz by the German Nazis and several concentration and extermination camps were established and occupied in the beginning of 1940 until 1945.
Gdansk- Lying on the Southern coast of the Baltic Sea, many tourists flock to this city for its well-preserved nature and environmentally friendly atmosphere. Gdansk is comprised of beaches, bathing grounds, zoological gardens and the famous Oliwa Park. This is the perfect destination for those seeking leisure and outdoor adventure. Gdansk is also a large center of economic life and culture.
Royal Castle at Wawel Hill- One of Krakow's finest attractions, the castle was home to three dynasties of Poland's monarchs. The interior is filled with priceless, rare and ancient artworks and objects.
Raclawice Panorama- A breathtaking panoramic painting of the Battle of Raclawice, an important event when a Polish rebellion defeated the Russian army. This painting is one of the most visited attractions of Wroclaw, a city well known for its numerous galleries and its flourishing art scene.

by Fr. William G. Most
Speaking of full membership in the Church, Pius XII, in his Encyclical on the Mystical
Body, said it is the society of those who have been baptized, and who profess the faith of
Christ, and who are governed by their bishops under the visible head, the Pope, the Bishop
of Rome.
The Church came into being when Christ died on the Cross, but it was formally
inaugurated on Pentecost, when He sent the Holy Spirit as He had promised. St. Paul speaks
of all Christians as members of Christ, so that with Him, they form one Mystical Body (Cf.
1 Cor 12:12-31; Col 1:18; 2:18-20; Eph. 1:22-23; 3:19; 4:13). St. Paul did not use the
word Mystical. It was developed more recently to bring out the fact that this union is
unique, there is no parallel to it. It is not the same as the union of a physical body,
nor that of a business corporation.
The Church, the Mystical Body, exists on this earth, and is called the Church militant,
because its members struggle against the world, the flesh and the devil. The Church
suffering means the souls in Purgatory. The Church triumphant is the Church in heaven. The
unity and cooperation of the members of the Church on earth, in Purgatory, in Heaven is
also called the Communion of Saints. When St. Paul uses the word "Saints" in
opening an Epistle, he does not mean they are morally perfect. He has in mind Hebrew qadosh,
which means set aside for God, or coming under the covenant. Being such means of course
they are called to moral perfection. But of course, not all have reached it in this world.
The word "Saint" in the modern sense means someone who has been canonized by
the Church in recent times, or was accepted as such by the Church in earlier times. If a
person is shown to have practiced heroic virtue--beyond what people in general do - in all
virtues, the title "Venerable" is given; with two miracles by that one's
intercession, the title is "Blessed"; two more miracles can lead to canonization
and the title of Saint.

Helpful and supportive
Fund: Inventages Venture Capital Investments
Posted by Anonymous on 2009-01-25
This was our first pitch to a VC / PE group, and whilst the pitch wasn't successful, we were reasonably impressed with Inventages.
Our two key contacts, Serge Salager and Wolfgang Reichenberger, were really helpful at identifying gaps in our pitch and tightening up our story.
At the meeting in Geneva, we were impressed by the marketing savvy of Bogdan von Ruchmann, and we found Oxana polite and incisive.
Less sure about the big boss, Gunnar, who seemed pretty disinterested and distracted, and appears to hold most of the sway.
But overall, a decent group, with strong beverage experience and marketing nous, who turned what could've been just a big time-drain into a useful learning experience.

Buckcherry Reveal Trippy New Video for 'Nothing Left But Tears'
Carrying on with the theme that inspired their latest disc 'Confessions,' Buckcherry recently revealed the trippy new video they conjured up for 'Nothing Left But Tears,' bringing the seven deadly sins to life.
Given that the majority of their past videos have been centered around band performances, the making of 'Nothing Left But Tears' really allowed Buckcherry to dive deep into the creative process. With each of the members undergoing major transformations to represent one of the seven deadly sins, the results are a dark and freaky video, putting a new spin on the song.
Director Daniel Gomez played a large role in the making of the video. He described the video for fans, explaining, "It opens in a roadside motel where there was a murder-suicide, and the video is the aftermath." He continues, "Our character comes back from the dead and walks into a tunnel that is the pathway to hell and ends up in an 'Alice In Wonderland' meets 'Dante's Inferno' tea party where six of the seven deadly sins are having a party in the middle of the forest - our interpretation of hell."
"It's evil, powerful, creepy and fun," frontman Josh Todd says about the video. "It's an incredible piece of art." While Todd didn't have to undergo quite as much of a transformation as his bandmates, his role still strikes a chord. Check out the video above and see for yourself!
Buckcherry are out on tour through mid-September, check out all the stops below.
Buckcherry Tour Dates:
8/17 — Lake Odessa, Mich. — I-96 Speedway
8/20 — Akron, Ohio — The Rock Factory

You should get KOTOR for X-Box if you haven't already iFett. Outstanding game. So fun to immerse yourself into it. I've still not played KOTOR2 but am looking forward to it since we got a Nihilus figure. I'm just lazy about gaming.

YORK, Pa. – The York College men's swimming squad began the season in tremendous fashion by becoming only the second school ever in the Capital Athletic Conference to defeat Mary Washington in an in-conference matchup. The Green and White snapped a 22-year losing streak to the Eagles, as they bested visiting Mary Washington 67-55 on Friday evening. The Spartans also play spoiler to the Eagles by breaking their 11-year undefeated CAC run as Mary Washington's last defeat in the CAC was in 2000 when they fell to Catholic University. The Spartans also bested Hood College this evening 98-24.
The Spartans came out with firepower and willingness to win in their season opener have various notable victories in many events. Cody Latchford, Jack Gottschalk, Richard Janosky, Andy Woods, Alex Diehl, and Jamie Hicks proved the key swimmers in today's match combining for nine first-place finishes, three second-place times, and one third-place finish. Individually, Latchford finished first in the 200 freestyle with a time of 1:48.96 and also won the 200 backstroke with a time of 2:03.04.
Gottschalk was victorious in his season opening meet by winning the 500 freestyle with an outstanding time of 5:04.91. The senior also finished second in the 1000 freestyle with a time of 10:35.93. Janosky, a senior captain this year, started off his season right placing first in the 50 freestyle with a 22.67 after a strong anchor leg in opening relay.
Last but certainly not least, Woods had a solid start to his junior season finishing first in the 100 butterfly with a time of 55.63. He also secured second in the 100 backstroke with a 57.60 and fourth in the 200 backstroke. Diehl nabbed the victory in the 100 free with a 50.63 while Hicks posted a 2:21.16 in the 200 breaststroke to garner the victory. He also notched second in the 100 breaststroke with a 1:03.28.
The main highlight of tonight's fantastic performance by the Green and White proved both relay events, as the Spartans snagged both the 200-yard medley and the 200-yard freestyle. York took first in both events, including a nail-biter finish in the closing 200 free relay as York topped Mary Washington by .33 hundredths of a second. York's 200 medley squad, featuring Latchford, Hicks, Woods, and Janosky, finished with a time of 1:41.30 to win the men's opening event of the 2011-2012 campaign. The final event of the evening was the 200 yard freestyle relay where Shane Bonner, Gottschalk, Diehl, and Janosky led the Spartans to victory with a final time of 1:29.68.
The Green and White have little time to celebrate their season-opening triumphs however as they return to action tomorrow, Saturday, November 5. York squares off against Marymount University at 2:00 pm in Arlington, Va.

This morning I received an encouraging e-mail from a friend. She has been through infertility and recurrent losses, but it looks like she finally has a keeper! Luckily she has found medical providers who were able to come up with a good treatment protocol for her situation. She has weaned off of the progesterone shots (daily shots of progesterone in oil – owie!) but is still on heparin, I believe, for the duration of her pregnancy. She is finally in the second trimester!
She mentioned that her fear of childbirth is abating. Some of that is because she has experienced natural miscarriage, and she has been told that it is like mini labor. I wanted to share (most) of my response to her. Of course I could have said much much more, but I really don't want to be "that crazy friend" who can't shut up about natural childbirth.
Just remember that the OB is just a person, not a god. And what YOU want DOES matter. Ask about birth plans and how the hospital honors them. I would hire a doula, someone who will be able to advocate for your needs and your desires. Seriously, that's the biggest mistake I made – I thought that having a CNM would "save" me from unnecessary intervention, but it didn't. The rest is history.
I thought the childbirth education classes at [name removed] were just fabulous. My only criticism is that I somehow didn't understand how life altering the cesarean was going to be. I'm not trying to scare you – the cesarean was a piece of cake for me, and it didn't mess with breast feeding at all (in my case). It's just that I was so shocked when I went in for my 6-week post-partum appointment with the OB who did my surgery and was told about uterine rupture.^ And then last July-August when I was preparing for baby #2 I learned so much about the failings of our maternal health care system, and that's when I really "cracked." I was just so pissed and became somewhat disappointed in [name removed] for not having been more forceful.*
Regarding labor – I didn't even know I was in labor. Granted I had a violent stomach flu . . . but I was surprised that I showed up at the hospital 9cm dilated! Probably one of the most painful things I have gone through was my second miscarriage. Supposedly subchorionic hematoma miscarriages are pretty bad, and this one was no exception. And during my last miscarriage I kept nearly fainting from the blood loss. Labor? Piece of cake. You'll be brilliant! Remember that the pain is good – it's there for a reason. It helps get your baby out and into your arms.
I am just so excited for you. I am so glad that you're out of the first trimester!! And hopefully you'll really start feeling great, and pretty soon you'll start feeling your "lemon" move. That will bring you much comfort and joy.
^ For the record, every laboring women has a small risk of uterine rupture. Most uterine ruptures in VBACs were historically caused by labor augmentation and induction tactics. A "window" or a dehiscence (separate terms in my mind) is not the same as a true uterine rupture.
* One thing I forgot to mention to her is that my husband seems to remember our childbirth educators talking about uterine rupture. Maybe they mentioned it, but again, it didn't leave the impression that it should have. I only pushed for 2 hours and then gave in to the cesarean. I thought it made sense. Had I known – really known – what a cloud the cesarean would cast over the rest of my childbearing years, I'd have resisted that cesarean. My baby would have tolerated it – when she was delivered, her APGAR scores were 9 & 9. Nearly perfect. Not a baby in distress as I had been told.
Perhaps what childbirth educators could add into their series is a session on how doctors perceive cesarean scars. Why the medico-legal culture dominates obstetric practices. Why certain risks (cesarean surgery, amniocentesis, etc.) are acceptable and others (natural birth, especially after a cesarean) seem foolish.

I am absolutely loving this extended summer we seem to be experiencing so I decided to take full advantage and had my ultimate summer's day. Started off with a delicious lunch in Hampton at a cute cafe called Sip. This was followed by an afternoon of tanning and swimming at Half Moon Bay - seriously forgot how beautiful that place is! I literally felt like I was back on the beach in Hawaii.... Well, almost.

Air Force-Navy series altered for threat of rain
For the third year in a row, two of America�s finest academies will convene on Kinston.
For the second consecutive year, their baseball series will have to dodge the elements.
The third annual Freedom Classic � this year a four-game series between Air Force and Navy � begins at 1 p.m. today at Grainger Stadium.
The teams will square off Saturday at 5 p.m. and again with a doubleheader on Sunday morning beginning at 10.
Those times vary from the original schedule. Tournament organizers pushed today�s opener up four hours and moved the doubleheader from Saturday to Sunday because most of the rain forecasted to fall in the area is predicted to fall during that time.
Rain caused Game 1 of the Freedom Classic to be postponed last year.
�One thing about athletics, you can�t control the weather,� Kinston/Lenoir County Parks and Recreation Director Bill Ellis said. �You do the best you can and then you go play.
�Sunday is supposed to be beautiful so one great day out of the weekend won�t be bad. We�ll still get them in and have a good time.�
Ellis said he got the idea to bring the event to Kinston � which is surrounded by military bases � when his son, Kyle, played baseball at Navy from 2003-06 and was playing at East Carolina University.
After sharing the idea with his colleagues, the Freedom Classic was born.
�It just seemed like a great opportunity to get (Navy) to come down here with Air Force,� Ellis said. �We have the perfect stadium and it just seemed like the perfect fit.�
Apart from bringing major NCAA Division I baseball to Kinston, a big reason for the event is its economic impact on a town that could use it.
Ellis said he estimates this year�s event will bring Kinston �somewhere around $50,000� due to out-of town guests and monies generated through hotel, restaurant and shopping receipts.
Ellis is also hoping the economic impact and fan turnout is enough to catch the eye of minor league baseball executives looking for a new place to house a team.
�I think teams interested in Kinston would most certainly be looking at this weekend and how it turns out,� said Ellis, who added a team to inhabit Grainger Stadium this year is out of the question but the potential for a team in 2014 still remains.
�It certainly couldn�t hurt us.�
Then there�s the volunteer work the Freedom Classic generates.
Jenny Inabinet, the tournament�s organizer, said the event wouldn�t be possible if it wasn�t for the individuals and organizations who volunteer their time, resources and money over the next three days.
�It takes a lot of work,� Inabinet said. �(The volunteers) help me out so much, because there are so many aspects of the game that happen at the same time so you can�t do it all.
�They don�t know how much I appreciate them. I just appreciate everybody that helps with this event. If it was just me doing it, I wouldn�t be able to put on an event as big as this.�
Tickets are $5 for adults and $4 for active duty and retired military, students and senior citizens. Parking is free at the stadium, and concessions, along with souvenir T-shirts and baseballs, will be available for purchase.
The meet-the-players breakfast is still scheduled for 9 a.m., Saturday at King�s Restaurant on U.S. 70. Admission to the breakfast is $10. Former New England Patriots tight end and inaugural Kinston/Lenoir County Sports Hall of Fame inductee Lin Dawson will speak at the breakfast.
Navy took two games in the first Freedom Classic in 2010; Air Force returned the favor by taking 2-of-3 in last year�s event.
Air Force (0-4) enters the classic with a team batting average of .288 and a team ERA of 9.56. Navy (2-2) brings with it a team average of .315 and a staff ERA of 3.82.
Today�s game will be the 32nd meeting between the military academies. The Falcons lead the all-time series with the Midshipmen, 16-15.

Alonzo, now the father of 4, entered the Union Army in the spring of 1861 after President Lincoln's second call for troops. He was instrumental in organizing Company K of the 2nd Iowa Volunteer Infantry. When he was elected Captain by the men in his Company, he declined the office knowing his close friend Charles Cloutman from New Hampshire wanted nothing more than to be Captain. So, Alonzo was elected 1st Lieutenant.

DIGHTON — On Tuesday, the Dighton-Rehoboth Regional School District worked out a contract with newly appointed Superintendent Anthony Azar.
Azar, the current administrator for curriculum and development for New Bedford schools, will begin working for Dighton-Rehoboth full time on June 2 as the acting superintendent. He will earn a salary of $140,000 per year, and his official contract will begin July 1, according to school authorities.
School Committee Chairman Raymond Medeiros said Azar will work with current interim Superintendent Michael Malone in April and May before he assumes full-time duties.
Azar could not be reached for comment.
On an 8-2 vote earlier this month, the School Committee selected Azar over two other finalists.
"We talked for a long time about the qualities we are looking for and enumerated on a number of them — leadership, experience as an educator and the fact that he has been in education for a long time," Medeiros said about the vote.
Azar's career spans more than three decades. He started off as a teacher in Rhode Island before becoming a principal and later an administrator of curriculum and development.
Azar was also the principal of the former Mulcahey Middle School in Taunton before landing his current position in New Bedford.
Medeiros stressed that D-R staff favors a superintendent who will remain in place for several years.
In recent years, the district has had high turnover at the position.
Former Superintendent Kathy Montagano retired in 2011, serving the district since 2008.
After Montagano, Jennifer Wordell served as interim from 2011-12. Instead of replacing her with a more permanent candidate, the district named current interim Michael Malone, who will remain on board officially until June 30.
Malone has vacation days coming and will take them off during the month of June.
Medeiros said the School Committee will determine at a later time if Malone should mentor Azar. If so, Malone will be paid on a per diem basis.

KRQE Reports On Socorro Seismic Activity
SOCORRO, N.M. September 9, 2009 – Two small earthquakes and a swarm of more than 400 micro-quakes have shaken the ground around Socorro in recent weeks.
Channel 13 KRQE aired a two-minute report about the seismology of central New Mexico during its newscast Monday, Sept. 7, newscast. The report included an interview with geophysicist Dr. Rick Aster, the chair of the Earth and Environmental Science Department and footage of students deploying seismometers.
The first quake was a shallow magnitude 2.3 earthquake at 7:57 p.m. Wednesday, Aug. 19. Aster said the quake occurred just 4 miles below the surface.
"That's why it was felt so strongly in the immediate Socorro area even though it was a tiny earthquake," Aster said. "It also created a loud boom that was heard throughout the area."
Within a couple hours after this event, two aftershocks smaller than magnitude 1.0 had occurred, according to seismic technician Jana Stankova-Pursley.
The second quake was Sunday, Aug. 29, with the epicenter about seven miles northeast of Socorro and 3.1 miles below the surface and was a magnitude of 2.0.
