ISSUE-35: semantics of symbol spaces

ISSUE-35: semantics of symbol spaces

http://www.w3.org/2005/rules/wg/track/issues/35

Raised by: Jos de Bruijn
On product: Technical Design

it is not entirely clear what is meant with
"semantics of a symbol space".  It's also not clear what is meant with
"value space is fixed". If the semantics of a symbol space defines the
value space, then how can the value space not be "fixed"? Furthermore, I
do not see the use of associating a value space with a symbol space.
I propose to amend the definitions as follows:
The symbol space consists of a lexical space and one (or possibly more)
URI(s) which identify it (as it is currently defined).  A datatype is a
symbol space which additionally includes a value space and a lexical to
value mapping (where the value space and lexical to value mapping are as
currently defined).
