[x3d-public] [x3d] X3D WG May 14 minutes : SFString in XML encoding examples

[Patrick Dähne]

> This issue is being looked at in more detail because of the proposal in Mantis issue 1320 https://www.web3d.org/member-only/mantis/view.php?id=1320 which would allow an optional variant in the encoding of of an MFString with one element.

This proposal obviously is a bad idea. Given an MFString foo like this:

<node foo="">

What’s the content of foo? An empty array of strings? Or an array with a single element, the empty string? In classic VRML encoding:

foo []

or 

foo [ "" ]

???
