Re: Your comments on Device Description Repository Simple API ( LC-1977)

 Dear José Manuel Cantera ,

The Mobile Web Initiative Device Description Working Group has reviewed
the comments you sent [1] on the Last Call Working Draft [2] of the Device
Description Repository Simple API published on 4 Apr 2008. Thank you for
having taken the time to review the document and to send us comments!

The Working Group's response to your comment is included below, and has
been implemented in the new version of the document available at:
http://www.w3.org/2005/MWI/DDWG/drafts/api/080529.

Please review it carefully and let us know by email at
public-ddwg-comments@w3.org if you agree with it or not before 9 June

solution for or a path to a consensus with the Working Group. If such a

Your comment on 3 Vocabularies:

Working Group Resolution (LC-1977):
The issue of canonical representation of IRIs as strings is beyond the
scope of the API. The specification indicates that the strings are
representations of IRIs. Developers should seek elsewhere for guidance on
such representations. The work of the W3C i18n group is one such source of
guidance. The XML Namespace specification is already referenced in the API,
and is another source of guidance.
