Contribution M1553, 37th MPEG Meeting, Maceio, Brazil, November 1996
Summary
This document presents a proposed revision of Part 5 of the MSDL Working Draft. It is based on the text of Version 1.3 (96/N1401). Items flagged with "Ed." indicate issues to be resolved, and have been marked by Olivier Avaro. Items flagged with "Ed.(2)" have been marked by the authors of this contribution. A "switch" statement has been added in the syntactic flow control section (Section 1.3.6 here) to accommodate cascades of multiple "if" statements which are cumbersome to write.
Additional proposed changes on the addition of a section explaining how an MSDL user can use MSDL-S to produce a running class in Java by translating the MSDL-S source is provided in contribution M1556. Such text should be informative, unless Java is officially adopted as the base language for MSDL.
