The problem is that word if, which should be written IF EVER. What is the difference betwee putting an URN in a SYSTEM identifier, or a FPI in a PUBLIC identifier? Both need to be resolved by some resolution mechanism. To me the only difference is that URNs must be resolved using genralized web resources I can have no control over, whereas the XML method being proposed allows me to control the resolution mechanism for my data set. To me this is a big plus over URNs. ---- Martin Bryan, The SGML Centre, Churchdown, Glos.
