Didn't you hear, Aaron? An HTTP URL has to be resolved before any meaning can be associated with it. 8-) The assumption may stem from the fact that validating XML parsers have to run off to get the DTD to build the infoset. Though that's a problem with DTDs and not URLs, I've heard that given as a reason for not using URLs as public ids. MB
