Re: Minutes for XML Core WG telcon of 2006 September 27

/ "Grosso, Paul" <pgrosso@ptc.com> was heard to say:
[...]
| Richard would like to test some implementations for
| what they give in terms of URIs (e.g., escaped or not?).
|
| Richard did test what XSLT 2.0 does in Saxon 8, and it
| returns an escaped value.  He thought XSLT should return
| unescaped.  His test files are xslt2-test.xsl and 
| base-uri-test.xml in
| http://www.w3.org/XML/Group/2006/09/xmlbase-2e/
|
| ACTION to Norm:  Respond to Richard's question as to what
| XSLT 2.0 should be doing with IRIs.

The current Saxon behavior is a bug. At the August f2f, the WGs agreed
that unescaped characters would be returned, see:

about 2/3 the way down (search for "Norm: In xml:base,")

                                        Be seeing you,
                                          norm
