RE: [w3c sml] [4682] Attribute based reference schemes

+1 for attribute based ref schemes.

It makes perfect sense to allow them and we do not gain anything by specifically disallowing them.

Sandy, thanks for writing the nice proposal. It helped us understand and focus on the core issues.

+1 for this recommendation as well.

May I suggest that for the call on Thurs, the chairs prepare a list of issues that have been agreed to by silent responses (silent responders are probably losing track of what they have been silently agreeing to) and list of issues that have NOT yet been resolved by email.  I would point to two in the latter category: sml:keyref reference to xs:key/xs:unique (I, with Sandy's assistance, have a proposal "out there" on that), and the EPR scheme issue (which should generate some more discussion based on Valentina's and my latest exchange).

+1 for no constraints on reference scheme definitions (remember Sandy has evil cases too... no attributes or elements required), which includes allowing attribute-based schemes

[w3c sml] [4682] Attribute based reference schemes










All
This is an attempt to instigate consensus on this bug. In his excellent writeup on the references, Sandy has proposed that attribute-based reference schemes be supported.  FYI, sml:uri was originally an attribute and it was changed to an element to support extension points. Subsequently, the private SML WG decided to support element-based schemes only for the sake of uniformity.

Please speak up now if you disagree with Sandy's proposal.

Thanks!
