Dear XML Core Working Group, http://www.w3.org/TR/2004/PR-xinclude-20040930/ states in section 3.1: [...] A value that results in a syntactically invalid URI or IRI should be reported as a fatal error, but some implementations may find it impractical to distinguish this case from a resource error. [...] This seems to assume that such resource identifiers neccessarily yield in a resource error. Please change the text to explicitly state whether an implementation would be considered conforming if it does not report a fatal error and processing does not yield in a resource error. This is possible e.g. if processing yields in a IRI that meets the generic constraints of the IRI specification but does not meet the specific re- quirements of the specific scheme and a request is made to via an IRI- aware protocol for which the server is designed to tolerate such faults, possibly licenced by the protocol specification, for example. The text implies that such implementations would be non-conforming. regards. -- Björn Höhrmann · mailto:bjoern@hoehrmann.de · http://bjoern.hoehrmann.de Weinh.
