Re: [wtp-dev] Content Model Documentation

There is no articles or documents that I know of, right off. The concepts were based on a "content model specification" that was worked on at w3c, but which never made it to the status of a recommendation (we didn't know it wouldn't be, when we started the work ... and thought it'd be best to follow some sort of specification if possible). I'm not sure this is the quite the right reference ... was all I could find, right off ... it would have been similar to

You can see the remanents in such names of interfaces such as CMDocument, CMEntity, CMNode, CMElement etc.

This specification was hard to use "in the raw" so interfaces and implementations involving "ModelQuery" and "ModelQueryAssociation" were created to avoid repetitive coding, etc.
Thanks, this clarifies it. It looks like it eventually evolved into the official DOM Level 3 spec:

http://www.w3.org/TR/DOM-Level-3-AS/abstract-schemas.html

Anyways, I did manage to get the Content Model working well enough in VEX, so I was able to remove the lone requirement that was keeping us from being able to do automated builds.
