http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=1856 ------- Additional Comments From mike@saxonica.com 2005-08-18 12:03 ------- I think we put this in deliberately. IIRC, you raised an interesting point previously about non-hierarchic URIs (for example, URNs); we were also concerned about the fact that the xs:anyURI type embraces IRIs, whereas the URI resolution algorithms in RFC2396 and RFC3986 only cover URIs. We therefore decided to leave the spec a little open-ended as to exactly which resolution algorithm is used, and this also leaves open the possibility that such a resolution algorithm is not defined over the entire domain of the xs:anyURI type. Also, 3986 says that the base URI must be absolute, so if you use that algorithm then you would probably expect to get FORG0009 if you supply a non-absolute base URI. We came to the conclusion that there's a lot of fuzziness in the infrastructure here, and it's not our remit to sort it out. Michael KayReceived on Thursday, 18 August 2005 12:03:48 UTC
