Hello,
Encodings for OBIX: Common Encodings Version 1.0, Committee Specification Draft 02 from 19 December 2013 contains in Section 3.5 "Children" following example:
<list href="xyz">
<bool val="false"/>
<obj><int val="255"/></obj>
</list>
People reference this sample to demonstrate that it is valid to have in <list> children, which have nothing in common. While this is indeed a valid statement, it is also pointless, as such applications abolish the additional semantics a <list> element has over <obj>, merely the ability to specify, that the children of a <list> have something in common via the "of" facet.
For this reason I kindly ask you either to replace <list> in the above example with something different, e.g. <abstime>, or to keep <list>, but make (explicit) use of its "of" facet.
Thanks in advance for your understanding.
