RE: Proposed resolution of HRRI/IRI discussion

We don't need to know what they are (we already do, but 
that's not the point).

We know they are allowed by the XML spec in what we are 
now calling LEIRIs, so if Martin's revision of the IRI
RFC doesn't allow them, we won't be able to refer to the
revised IRI RFC, and we'll have to go back to developing
our own definition of LEIRIs (as in the HRRI draft).
