<dd>The base unit of a <code>DOMString</code>. This indicates that
|
|
indexing on a <code>DOMString</code> occurs in units of 16 bits.
|
|
This must not be misunderstood to mean that a <code>DOMString</code>
|
|
can store arbitrary 16-bit units. A <code>DOMString</code> is a
|
|
character string encoded in UTF-16; this means that the restrictions
|
|
of UTF-16 as well as the other relevant restrictions on character strings
|
|
must be maintained. A single character, for example in the form of a
|
|
numeric character reference, may correspond to one or two 16-bit units.</dd><dt><b><a name='dt-API'>API</a></b></dt>

A node is a <i>namespace well-formed</i> XML node if it
|
|
is a <a href='glossary.html#dt-well-formed'>well-formed</a> node,
|
|
and follows the productions and namespace constraints. If
|
|
[<cite><a class='noxref normative' href='references.html#XML'>XML 1.0</a></cite>] is used, the constraints are defined in
|
|
[<cite><a class='noxref normative' href='references.html#Namespaces'>XML Namespaces</a></cite>]. If [<cite><a class='noxref normative' href='references.html#XML11'>XML 1.1</a></cite>] is used,
|
|
the constraints are defined in [<cite><a class='noxref normative' href='references.html#Namespaces11'>XML Namespaces 1.1</a></cite>].

|
</dd><dt><b><a name='dt-readonly-node'>read only node</a></b></dt>
|
|
<dd>A <i>read only node</i> is a node that is immutable. This
|
|
means its list of children, its content, and its attributes, when it
|
|
is an element, cannot be changed in any way. However, a read only node
|
|
can possibly be moved, when it is not itself contained in a read only
|
|
node.</dd><dt><b><a name='dt-schema'>schema</a></b></dt>
|
|
<dd>
|
|
A <i>schema</i> defines a set of structural and value
|
|
constraints applicable to XML documents. Schemas can be
|
|
expressed in schema languages, such as DTD, XML Schema, etc.
|
|
</dd><dt><b><a name='dt-well-formed'>well-formed</a></b></dt>
|
|
<dd>
|
|
A node is a <i>well-formed</i> XML node if its
|
|
serialized form, without doing any transformation during its
|
|
serialization, matches its respective production in [<cite><a class='noxref normative' href='references.html#XML'>XML 1.0</a></cite>] or [<cite><a class='noxref normative' href='references.html#XML11'>XML 1.1</a></cite>] (depending on the XML
|
|
version in use) with all well-formedness constraints related
|
|
to that production, and if the entities which are referenced
|
|
within the node are also well-formed. If namespaces for XML
|
|
are in use, the node must also be <a href='glossary.html#dt-namespace-well-formed'>namespace
|
|
well-formed</a>.
