A meta-question - does the concatenation of a URI with a fragment to make a new URI constitute minting? In RFC 2396, the fragment was not part of the URI so in theory no new URI was generated. In RFC 3986 and thus RFC 3987, the fragment is part of the URI. So, if http://example.org/foo (or http://example.net/foo# ) already exist, does concatenation to produce http://example.org/foo#toto (or http://example.net/foo#toto ) constitute minting a new URI/IRI or is it re-using an existing one? -- Chris Lilley mailto:chris@w3.org Chair, W3C SVG Working Group W3C Graphics Activity Lead Co-Chair, W3C Hypertext CG
