Re: Comments from the I18N Core WG on XLink 1.1

Hello Felix,

Please excuse my ignorance, but could you explain the
differences between the XML Schema (i.e. XLink) escaping
procedure and the IRI escaping procedure?

Once I understand what differences you are after, my
guess is that I'll ask you to be more specific in the
note (noting differences when there are minimal without
pointing out that they are minimal runs the danger of
creating needless confusion).

Regards,   Martin.
