Is this to accommodate the use of QNames as > identifiers? (Can one have an identifier without a "resource"?) This is an example of the confusion between the identifier and a reference.

The QName isn't itself a URI, just as a relative reference a not a URI. TimReceived on Friday, 6 September 2002 14:31:18 GMT
