We will impair the advantages of XML for SGML users a lot if we don't support SGML-style addressing. >4.3.b Should we support entity addressing by name? I think this idiom for inter-document links (ent=foo refid=bar-in-foo) is so common that we must support it. >4.3.c Should we support element addressing by ID attribute? Yes. >4.3.d Should we support a combination of these two? Yes. >4.3.e What syntax should we use? The Entity attribute should be one way to do BASE (or whatever). The declaration can cause the behavior to switch from URL-interpretation to entity reference interpretation. -- David _________________________________________ David Durand dgd@cs.bu.edu \ david@dynamicDiagrams.com Boston University Computer Science \ Sr. Analyst http://www.cs.bu.edu/students/grads/dgd/ \ Dynamic Diagrams --------------------------------------------\ http://dynamicDiagrams.com/ MAPA: mapping for the WWW \__________________________
