Re: Fragment issues in ITS/HTML/XML mapping to NIF

Hi Dave,

Thanks for this!, It looks quite relevant for our next discussion
about naming and dereferencing.
Notice, though, that there is no meeting today. Telcos are planned for
1st and 3rd Wednesday each month, so next one will be on 18th.

Regards,
Jorge
