The list of action items has, for a while, carried the following entry
for me:

>  ACTION 2010-12-17.1: MSM to draft an "exactURI" user-defined type and publish a note for it. [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2010/12/17-xmlschema-minutes.html#action02]
>  Progress 2011-08-12:  the exactURI type has been drafted (see http://www.w3.org/2011/04/XMLSchema/TypeLibrary-URI-RFC3986.xsd, http://www.w3.org/2011/04/XMLSchema/TypeLibrary-IRI-URI-driver.xsd, andhttp://www.w3.org/2011/04/XMLSchema/TypeLibrary-IRI-RFC3987.xsd).


A draft WG Note discharging this action is now on the W3C server at

   https://www.w3.org/XML/Group/2004/06/exacturi/xsd-rfc-3986-uri-3987-iri.html

It describes the datatypes, provides the XSD source code for their
simple type definitions, and exhibits the relationship between the
type definitions and the ABNF used in RFC 3986 and 3987 to
define URIs and IRIs in such a way as to allow the reader to
verify the correctness of the translation (or to find errors in it
-- find an error in the translation and i'll buy you dinner next
time we're in the same city).

The WG should consider whether we are willing to publish this
document in essentially its current form or after some revisions.

WG action, please.

Michael
