2.2.6 NormalizedString Elements and Attributes

The RDL format specifies a number of elements and attributes in the XSD structure as xsd:NormalizedString. This enforces further restrictions on the identifier string values for these elements and attributes.

Unless specified otherwise, when the value of an element or attribute is xsd:NormalizedString, in the file format validation implementation of any RDL schema, the xsd:NormalizedString identifiers MUST be the following:

• Unique within the entire report.

• CLS-compliant identifier [UTR15] name.

Further, RDL 2003/10 and RDL 2005/01, do not restrict the maximum length of identifiers, although RDL 2008/01, RDL 2010/01, and RDL 2016/01 restrict the maximum length of identifiers to 256 characters.

Any element whose value is xsd:NormalizedString can be referenced by the following elements and attributes.
