I know this is a late comment, but I think I see an error in AWWW that really should be fixed... Section 4.5.3 asserts that RDF combines namespace URIs with local names using an intervening '#'. This is not correct. The only time RDF introduces a '#' is when forming the URI for an rdf:ID attribute, and in this case, the ID is considered relative to the current base URI, not some namespace URI. I do have more comments on sections 3 and 4, but they are more to do with style than substance, so I probably shouldn't disturb you with them at this late stage. There is one more that I will mention. I'm dashing this off hurriedly following a plane journey, so this may not be very well expressed... In section 3.3.1, I feel the terminology concerning "secondary resources" is muddled. The document text (numbered bullets) actually makes it fairly clear that there is no such thing distinguished as a secondary resource. This same idea is present in the revised URI spec, and I've been uneasy with it there, but I've only just been able to articulate why. Basically, I think resources are resources, with no primary or secondary distinction. However, there are primary resource identifiers (URIs without fragments) and secondary identifiers (URIs with fragments), but the form of identifier doesn't somehow make the resource of a different kind, which I think is a conclusion one might draw from the current wording. #g ------------ Graham Klyne For email: http://www.ninebynine.org/#Contact
