Subject: Re: [xsl] standalone="no" From: David Carlisle <davidc@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Wed, 12 May 2004 15:49:53 +0100 |
Recently, I went to an XML users group meeting and someone said that the 'standalone' instruction can shut down the processing of the XML document in some processors. Having <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" standalone="no"?> is the same as not having the xml declaration at all as they are the specified defaults for version encoding and standalone (not quite true for encoding, but nearly) so no conforming processor should barf on standalone="no" if it accepts a file with no standalone declaration. http://www.w3.org/TR/2004/REC-xml11-20040204/#sec-rmd says: If there are no external markup declarations, the standalone document declaration has no meaning. If there are external markup declarations but there is no standalone document declaration, the value "no" is assumed.
