OK.

I did some spelunking and found that both webarch and XML Schema
predate the IRI spec, and XQuery seems to cite XML Schema for xs:anyURI.

So I changed the formal occurrences to "IRI", but left many
of the informal occurrences as "URI", and added a note,
in the "Resource Descriptions" subsection of the intro, right
after we make the point about "unambiguous URIs"...

[[
Note that GRDDL follows HTML 4, RDF, and XML Schema in using
Internationalized Resource Identifiers, i.e. IRIs[RFC3987]. While in
informal usage, this specification uses the more familiar term URI
interchangeably with the recently standardized term IRI, the formal
rules use the relevant terms precisely.
]]

Plus, the algorithm for converting a relative reference to absolute
form is only in RFC 3986, so I kept that ref while adding RFC 3987.

Revision 1.233  2007/03/01 16:50:06  connolly
cite RFC3987 and specify IRIs, while
still using "URI" informally

A complete diffs is attached.

Murray or Harry, please confirm that these changes are
consistent with WG expectations. If you need me to follow
up by phone, I'm happy to do that.
