Re: possible issue with LEIRI definition in draft-duerst-iri-bis-02.txt

Hello Paul,

Many thanks for your careful reading. I have added this as
issue leiri-relative-116 at
http://www.w3.org/International/iri-edit#leiri-relative-116

I'm not able to post a new draft at this moment because of the
IETF publication moratorium before the IETF meeting, but I'll
get back to it as soon as possible.

Regards,    Martin.
