Hello

If I understand http://www.w3.org/TR/rdf-concepts/#dfn-URI-reference
correctly, the following graph contains two statements :

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<rdf:RDF xmlns:rdf="http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#"
  xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">
  <rdf:Description rdf:about="http://example.org/��">
    <dc:title>Test</dc:title> 
  </rdf:Description>
  <rdf:Description rdf:about="http://gmuer.ch/%C3%BC">
    <dc:title>Test</dc:title> 
  </rdf:Description>
</rdf:RDF>


Does it make sense that "Two RDF URI references are equal if and only if
they compare as equal, character by character, as Unicode strings.",
wouldn't it cause less problems to say "Two RDF URI references are equal
if and only if the resolve to the same URI".

I'm asking because I'm implementing and RDF based CMS [1] where GET and
MGET requests are answered according of the properties the requested
resource has in the model and I have no way to find out whether the user
requested http://gmuer.ch/%C3%BC or http://example.org/��.

Regards,
reto
