Who said anything about dereferencing namespaces? The point (as I understood it) was that to learn about the resource identified by <http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#type>, you would dereference that specific URI. Because it's an HTTP URI, you would do GET operation for <http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns>, then find information about the specific fragment using the rules for the MIME-type of the representation you recieved. You'd most likely get RDF/XML, so the rules state that the fragment <#type> refers to <http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#type>, which may or may not be described by the representation you recieved. Note that the resource being queried, <http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns>, is not the same as the namespace name, "http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#". -- David Menendez <zednenem@psualum.com> <http://www.eyrie.org/~zednenem/>
