This is a personal comment -- not on behalf of HP. As illustrated in the pipelining example at http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-grddl-comments/2007AprJun/006 9.html it is important that GRDDL also work for XML documents. Hence, the spec should be clear that the lack of a base URI is only a problem if it is needed (to resolve a relative URI) but not present. I.e., correct and complete GRDDL results should still be produced if there is no base URI but all transformation tokens are absolute URI. This is not currently clear in the spec. In fact, the informative "Mechanical Rules" seem to suggest that a base URI is always required in order to produce GRDDL results. Here are some places in the spec where this comes up: http://www.w3.org/TR/grddl/#rule_GRDDL_transformation http://www.w3.org/TR/grddl/#rule_tlrel http://www.w3.org/TR/grddl/#rule_metadata_profile_name Thanks David Booth, Ph.D. HP Software +1 617 629 8881 office | dbooth@hp.com http://www.hp.com/go/software
