I've realised I don't understand one of the points being made here. Several times someone has said something like "if http:// URIs don't provide the uniqueness and stability requirements you need, then use something else, such as mid://". Who is the "you" in this statement? Is it the author of layered specifications, or is it the author of XML documents? Is it open to, say, the "XML Schema" authors to require an http:// namespace URI, or must they leave this choice to the creators of particular namespaces/schemas? [[I know that XML Schema does not actually say anything like this at present]] I know that in a sense this is a silly question -- of course a layered specification _can_ say what it likes. I'm asking how this is all intended to work in the vision of those making the statement. -- Cheers, John
