The spec says xf:compare collationLiteral is an anyURI. But your examples include xf:compare('Strasse', 'Straße', anyURI('deutsch')) If that's really a URI, it's a relative URI reference and needs to be interpreted relative to a base URI. But this example strongly suggests that you intended it to be taken only as a literal string. I submit that if it's a literal it shouldn't be called a URI, to avoid this confusion. Remember the massive debate over whether relative URIs were meaningful as namespaces? You _really_ don't want to go there. Conversely, if it really us a URI, you shouldn't be using the relative form in this example since (a) it's misleading to the reader and (b) it's not typical use -- you generally wouldn't want a document's collation to change if the document is moved to a new base URI. ______________________________________ Joe Kesselman / IBM Research
