A Joint Development Effort

#### OASIS XML Conformance Subcommittee
Second Edition (Working Draft)
15 March 2001

Filename | Collection | Action | Rationale | Status
--- | --- | --- | --- | ---
/ibm directory | IBM | add | Additional 1000 tests contributed by IBM | Closed
p02pass1.xml | OASIS | delete | Test was in error - was inadvertently included in the test suite | Closed
o-p12fail7 | OASIS | modify | Changed test description to "The public ID has a tab character, which is disallowed" | Closed
o-p39fail4 | OASIS | modify | Changed test description to "The XML declaration is improperly terminated" | Closed
sa02.xml | SUN | modify | Canonical output file changed -- characters coming from character references are not normalized. | Closed
not-sa02.xml | SUN | modify | Canonical output file changed -- characters coming from character references are not normalized. | Closed
valid-sa-111.xml | James Clark | no change | Question regarding canonical output - W3C WG clarification confirms that the canonical output was okay. | Closed
valid-sa-068.xml | James Clark | modify | Changed canonical output. Line break normalization only happens when parsing external parsed entities, including the document entity. See 2.11 XML 1.0 Second Edition. | Closed
valid-sa-094 | James Clark | no change | Test description indicates that it is not well-formed. W3C WG indicates that PE refs in attribute values are simply not recognized. See 4.4.1 XML 1.0 Second Edition | Closed
ibm-not-wf-P33-ibm33n01.xml | IBM | remove | No longer relevant. See 2.12 XML 1.0 Second Edition | Closed
ibm-not-wf-P33-ibm33n02.xml | IBM | remove | No longer relevant. See 2.12 XML 1.0 Second Edition | Closed

ibm-not-wf-P36-ibm36n01.xml | IBM | remove | No longer relevant. See 2.12 XML 1.0 Second Edition | Closed
ibm-not-wf-P36-ibm36n02.xml | IBM | remove | No longer relevant. See 2.12 XML 1.0 Second Edition | Closed
ibm-not-wf-P37-ibm37n01.xml | IBM | remove | No longer relevant. See 2.12 XML 1.0 Second Edition | Closed
ibm-not-wf-P37-ibm37n02.xml | IBM | remove | No longer relevant. See 2.12 XML 1.0 Second Edition | Closed
ibm-not-wf-P37-ibm37n03.xml | IBM | remove | No longer relevant. See 2.12 XML 1.0 Second Edition | Closed
ibm-not-wf-P37-ibm37n04.xml | IBM | remove | No longer relevant. See 2.12 XML 1.0 Second Edition | Closed
ibm-not-wf-P37-ibm37n05.xml | IBM | remove | No longer relevant. See 2.12 XML 1.0 Second Edition | Closed
ibm-not-wf-P38-ibm38n01.xml | IBM | remove | No longer relevant. See 2.12 XML 1.0 Second Edition | Closed
ibm-not-wf-P38-ibm38n02.xml | IBM | remove | No longer relevant. See 2.12 XML 1.0 Second Edition | Closed
ibm-not-wf-P38-ibm38n03.xml | IBM | remove | No longer relevant. See 2.12 XML 1.0 Second Edition | Closed
ibm-not-wf-P41-ibm41n11.xml | IBM | modify | Typo -- changed almage to aImage | Closed
ibm-not-wf-P41-ibm41n12.xml | IBM | modify | Typo -- changed aIndrect to aIndirect | Closed
lang01-lang06 | SUN | remove | Constraints tested are no longer valid. See 2.12 XML 1.0 Second Edition | Closed
valid-sa-012, o-p04pass1, o-p05pass1, p-08pass1 | James Clark, OASIS/NIST | Modify | Conform to XML but not to XML Namespaces spec. In testcases.dtd, added a NAMESPACE attribute on the TEST element to indicate whether or not the test conforms to the XML Namespaces spec. | Closed
valid-sa-065, valid-sa-100, o-p73pass1, cond01.xml, cond02.xml, decl01.xml, dtd07.dtd, encoding07.xml | SUN, OASIS/NIST, James Clark | no change | Tests define general entities which are not used, and which are either malformed or missing. W3C Core WG confirms that entities only need to be expanded if they are used. If they are not used, it doesn't matter whether or not they are well-formed. See Section 2.1. | Closed
empty, inv-not-sa14 | SUN | reclassify | CDATA section containing only whitespace does not match the nonterminal S. See Section 3 Logical Structure, VC: Element Valid, item 2 | Closed
sa04.xml | SUN | Modify | Literals are quoted with double quotes but appear in the output file with single quotes. Modified Second Canonical Form to surround literals with single quotes. | Closed
pr-xml-* | Fuji Xerox | replace | These files refer to spec.dtd which is missing. Include right version with the test suite. | Closed
Four of James Clark's tests | James Clark | modify | These tests have NOTATIONS and need a DOCTYPE in canonical form 2. Output files were modified. | Closed
sa03-sa05 | SUN | No change | Tests are standalone, but need to read the external subset to produce the right canonical XML. XML processors need not read the external subset if the file is standalone. If your processor produces Second Canonical Form, then it must read the external subset to match the supplied output file. | Closed
invalid--003 - invalid--006 | James Clark | modify | Changed test description from entity declaration to element declaration. | Closed
inv-not-sa02, inv-not-sa08 | SUN | no change | Have character references to whitespace characters in a tokenized attribute. W3C Core WG confirms that files are invalid. | Closed
p74pass1.xml | OASIS | no change | Comment indicated that the file was classified as Invalid, but seems to be valid. The root element 'doc' is not declared, so the file is invalid. | Closed
p16fail3.xml | OASIS | modify | Description is erroneous. File is well-formed but not valid. Updated test description to indicate that a document must conform to the constraints expressed in a dtd to be valid. | Closed
001.xml, 001.ent | James Clark | no change | Section 4.3.2 applies, not the validity constraint. Comment indicates that test should change to not-wf instead of invalid. W3C Core WG confirms that file is invalid -- spec is confusing and will be clarified. | Closed
e2.xml | OASIS | add | Errata [E2] imposes a VC on productions [58] and [59]. No duplicate tokens are permitted. | Closed
attr11.xml, attr12.xml | SUN | modify | Files marked invalid, but are actually valid. The tests refer to "Attribute Default Legal" VC but this VC is only about lexical constraints. The two tests pass the lexical test, and since the default attributes in error are not effectively used, because the instance documents specify a value for these attributes, the fact that they refer to an undeclared entity does not matter. Changed tests to effectively make them invalid with respect to the VC that they claim to test. | Closed
