I had an AI to look into i18n issue in http://www.w3.org/TR/2008/WD-curie-20080506/ CURIE defines a data type which values encompass QName values and other kinds of values. Others are e.g. "0321154991" in the CURIE "isbn:0321154991". This is not a QName since "0321154991" starts with an integer. A CURIE can be identified by square brackets, e.g. [ex:home.html], to avoid confusion with QNames. A CURIE consists of a prefix and an IRI reference (irelative-ref), as defined in RFC 3987. About IRIs, the CURI draft also says: "The concatenation of the prefix value associated with a CURIE and its reference MUST be an IRI (as defined by the IRI production in [IRI]). Note that while the set of IRIs represents the lexical space of a CURIE, the value space is the set of URIs (IRIs after canonicalization - see [IRI])." RFC 3987 does not define a canonicalization process. So I'm not sure what they mean here. This is a point where I would ask for clarification. THe CURIE draft also defines an XML Schema pattern for CURIEs, which I think is fine in terms of IRI: [\i-[:]][\c-[:]]*:.+ Felix
