[cddlm] CDL: extension query

16 Jun 2005

      Jun,

I have one more query on extensions. What do you do with children of an 
element that are not eleements, but comments, text, etc.

Specifically, what is the result of this extension.

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<cdl:cdl
   xmlns:cdl="http://www.gridforum.org/namespaces/2005/02/cddlm/CDL-1.0"
...
<cdl:configuration>
     <Component>
       <!-- Component: nested comment -->
       Component: Nested Text
     </Component>
   </cdl:configuration>
   <cdl:system>
     <Extension cdl:extends="Component">
       <!-- Extension : nested comment -->
       Extension : Nested Text
     </Extension>
   </cdl:system>

</cdl:cdl>

Should it be parent retains stuff:

     <Extension cdl:extends="Component">
       <!-- Extension : nested comment -->
       Extension : Nested Text
     </Extension>

or merge in children
     <Extension cdl:extends="Component">
       <!-- Extension : nested comment -->
       Extension : Nested Text
       <!-- Component: nested comment -->
       Component: Nested Text
     </Extension>

I will file this on the tracker.
