Architecture

The DTDs are given in Appendix A. Note that they do not allow any free-text markup[1].

The access mechanisms allowed for this format are the standard HTTP and local harddisk accesses represented by the http: and file: URL protocols. Note that for component identifiers using one of these protocols, the XML binding will automatically be chosen, while other bindings in theory could use these protocols after having been through a Path URN resolver. See Chapter 2, Component Identity.

Updating a component using the XML binding can only be done by replacing it entirely via, for example, a file save command or a HTTP PUT command. If no saving destination is given or access to this destination is denied, the component may not be edited.
