The following errata report has been submitted for RFC5261,
"An Extensible Markup Language (XML) Patch Operations Framework Utilizing XML Path Language (XPath) Selectors".

--------------------------------------
You may review the report below and at:
http://www.rfc-editor.org/errata_search.php?rfc=5261&eid=3458

--------------------------------------
Type: Technical
Reported by: Erik Wilde <dret@berkeley.edu>

Section: 8

Original Text
-------------
<!ENTITY id     "id\(('&ncname;')?\)|id\((&quot;&ncname;&quot;)?\)">

Corrected Text
--------------
<!ENTITY id     "id\('&ncname;'\)|id\(&quot;&ncname;&quot;\)">

Notes
-----
The regex in the XSD suggests that "id()" would be a valid selector for a patch, but it would not make sense to specify such a selector since it never would select a node (there's no identifier to locate in the document). This means that while "id()" is a valid XPath expression, it should not be allowed as a selector expression within an XML patch document.

Instructions:
-------------
This errata is currently posted as "Reported". If necessary, please
use "Reply All" to discuss whether it should be verified or
rejected. When a decision is reached, the verifying party (IESG)
can log in to change the status and edit the report, if necessary.
