This is the final call for the parameter sweep extension. If you have any comments please send them to the list before Sep. 19, 2008 (next week Friday).
After this working group final call finishes the document will be submitted to the OGF Editor and enter the process for official publication. As part of this process a formal public comment period will also be carried out.

Nitpicks and (hopefully) simple questions follow below. With the questions, I'll be perfectly satisfied with whatever "editorial" answers you choose. Donal. ---------------------- Bugfix: inconsistent paragraph separation on page 3 Bugfix: example on page 6 uses DocumentNode to enclose XPath without any namespace mappings; suggested fix: note in text above that this is an abbreviated form for example purposes. Bugfix: example on page 8 has similar problems, and has "[sweep]" just above it (not a syntax recognized from elsewhere or defined here!) though it looks like a broken reference to another document? Bugfix: page 9 contains many uses of the odd syntax described above. Bugfix: footnote 1 on page 9 contains multiple references to the same document! Bugfix: inconsistent paragraph separation on page 10 Query: is it worthwhile stating what happens with substring selection when using multiple assignments into the same field and some of those assignments change the length of the overall string? (Question brought about by reference to Example 3 (pp11-13) though that doesn't have this problem.) Bugfix: on too many pages to list, we're inconsistent about formatting of XML QNames and XPath fragments. Query: is it worth using an abstract mathematical description of sweep functions? (They're a pair, consisting of a maximal count and a function from an integer to the DOM node to substitute.) Query: is it worth noting that implementations may wish to constrain the allowable space of values for LoopDouble/@step to exclude zero? Bugfix: in Examples 7-8 (pp31-33) should explicitly note that the problematic elements are in red. Maybe make them bold too Bugfix: Title of "Further Examples" section is surprising; "FileSweep Examples" might have been better. Query: is it worth giving each example a name and not just a number? Bugfix: The copyright notice should use a copyright symbol and not "(C)" where possible (really!) Here's a free one: © Don't wear it out. ;-) Bugfix: The sweep namespace MUST use 'ogf' and not 'ggf'. Fix on pp4, 22-24, 26-28, 30-32, 34, 43, 45, 47. (But sweepfunc and file-sweep are both fine.)
