Two questions, one sartorial, one specific:
1. "Node-set" is proper, "Nodeset" is not, yes?
2. In the following:
<colors>
<primary>
<red></red>
<blue></blue>
<yellow></yellow>
</primary>
<secondary>
<green></green>
<purple></purple>
</orange></orange>
</secondary>
</colors>
Is the node-set of <colors> strictly the children (e.g.,
<primary>, <secondary>) -- or is it children and their
children, i.e., descendants, not just children? I'm
wanting to know exactly what I'm referring to when I say
"the node-set of 'x'" . . . implicitly means what
set of nodes? To me, if <primary> and <secondary> are
the node-set of <colors>, shouldn't the children of
<primary> and <secondary> be as well?
Thank you for addressing this, I'm trying to get a very precise handle on
the prescribed and proscribed parameters of the nomenclature.
