4 Silverlight Exceptions to the MS-XAML Specification

Valid Silverlight Xaml Documents include the set of XamlTypes defined in this specification. The rules for validity of a Xaml document for Silverlight that will create a Xaml Infoset are more constrained than the combination of the XamlTypes plus the specification material in [MS-XAML]. Also, Silverlight's technique for mapping XML into a Xaml Infoset does not completely conform to Section 8 of [MS-XAML]. The following section documents the variances in rules for validation and Infoset processing of a Silverlight Xaml document.

Important: All material in this section applies specifically to Silverlight 4 Xaml documents.
