: At the present time, the XML language specifications do not : endorse any use of a namespace URI other than string : comparison with other namespace URIs. The RDF designers : asserted from the beginning that we wanted to use URIs to : their fullest , not just as strings to be compared. That is, RDF : _expects_ that any URI can be presented to the Web for resolution. : But RDF still treats URIs as "opaque" in the sense that RDF does : not require any parsing of the URI. That sounds like a hedge. Bill de hOra
