I would like to see a case where knowing an attribute is a URI is sufficient to take any action. Examples where having to know is critical <img src="uri"> means Fetch uri and display it inline <a href="uri"> means "If you click here in a browser replace the viewport with a new one <base xml:base="uri"> means if you need to resolve URI's in OTHER contexts use this as the base .... <rdf subject="uri" predicate="uri2" verb="uri3"> means there is a relationship between the objects identified by uri1,uri2,uri3 ... Very very different behaviours and meaning depending on context - ie the specific vocabulary. So I would like to see an example where without context knowing something is a URI (or even URL) has useful meaning. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- David Lee Lead Engineer MarkLogic Corporation dlee@marklogic.com Phone: +1 650-287-2531 Cell: +1 812-630-7622 www.marklogic.com This e-mail and any accompanying attachments are confidential.
