URI templates look potentially interesting, but there's one big
problem: their use of { and } for expressions. Because these are
already used by Attribute Value Templates. These are part of XSL (http://www.w3.org/TR/xslt20/#attribute-value-templates
), are also used in SMIL 3.0 (http://www.w3.org/TR/2008/REC-SMIL3-20081201/smil-state.html#q48
), and (I think) considered for inclusion by the XForms people
In these languages, it is the host language that implements the {}
substitution, and therefore defines the grammar inside the curly
braces. (XPath in XSL, and XPath by default, but overridable on
document level in SMIL).
It seems that this use of curly braces would conflict with uri-
templates...
