[Bug 4992] Object identity needs to be clarified

http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=4992





------- Comment #8 from sandygao@ca.ibm.com  2007-11-15 18:30 -------
In case people are converging on one of the 2 proposals, as listed in comment
#5 and comment #6, the following example should show their difference:

<ref sml:ref="true">
  <sml:uri>file:///c:/abc/def.xml</sml:uri>
  <my_uri_scheme:uri>file:///c:/abc/def.xml</my_uri_scheme:uri>
</ref>

where "my uri scheme" is identical to SML URI scheme except that it restricts
the references to the "file" scheme.

Proposal in comment #5 requires that processors MUST treat the 2 schemes as
resolving to the same target and the "at most one target" constraint is
satisfied.

Proposal in comment #6 leaves it to implementations.
