draft review--please comment. paul -------------------------- Various members of the XML Core WG have reviewed the CURIE specification at several stages of development, and the WG has discussed CURIEs among themselves several times. There is disagreement among the WG members about the value of CURIEs. While some members don't object to them as long as it isn't claimed that a CURIE is a namespace, others fear the similarity with QNames will be confusing at best and possibly problematic for certain applications and tools, and several of us think CURIEs are a bad idea. At this time, while most of the XML Core WG would rather not have CURIEs continue to be proposed and used, we have given up spending energy fighting what seems to be a losing cause.
