From today's call, there seemed to be agreement on this general direction, with some additional text; this version is slightly more wordy than what I typed into IRC: Note: This implies that the value of the URI attribute does not need to conform to the grammar given in [URI] for a URI reference. However, some existing implementations are known to verify the value of the URI attribute against the grammar in [URI]. It is therefore safest to perform any necessary escaping while generating the URI attribute. > Further, I propose striking the following sentence: > XML signature applications MUST be able to parse URI syntax. ... for the same reason as suggested in the original message. -- Thomas Roessler, W3C <tlr@w3.org>
