Correction re applyUntil / applyTo URL vs identifiers for hyperlinks [use URL] XHTML is permitted in specified descriptive text fields only;

badly formed HTML is not permitted! In XHTML, bulleted lists and other formatting options are

allowed; use of scripts, images and other multimedia elements are a security risk, so are deprecated.

If a definite start date is not known, the @dtf attribute on <applyFrom> or <start> is not required.

Some elements are ‘inheritable’. No need to repeat in <presentation> is same as in <course>.

Issues raised and currently under discussion

Telephone number format URIs as (course) identifiers Address format Field sizes / character limits Images Namespaces Feed locations / cool URIs

OTHER QUESTIONS Publishing format(s) for the documents Version control
