"A fanatic is someone who can't change his mind and > won't change the subject." I admit I've been a bit dogged about this. However, I don't think I'm the only one who sees the lack of useable hypermedia spec for XML as a problem. I will have to get back to working on that, as time permits. > > > Although that brings up the point of how are applications > of micro xml > > expected to declare their base URI and language? > > As they see fit, possibly with a MicroAF document to declare > mapping to a standard document type. I expect that people > will tend to use "base", "lang", and "id". So I guess that will work for href, type, et al also. But for "global" semantics, one will have to bind them to a media type. Before people start using @base, @id, @lang (and the hypermedia attributes) would be the time to do that in a media type registration, as backwards compatibility can't be an issue at the beginning of a media type.
