Dan, In an message about a year ago [1], you said: [[ TimBL prefers root-relative paths, i.e. "/x%2Fabc" to "../../x%2Fabc" Both are correct relative paths from here to there, but our code currently does "/x%2Fabc". I don't really like it; it doesn't support moving filesets around as well as it could. But I haven't convinced timbl, nor have I completely debugged an algorithm for returning "../../x%2Fabc". ]] The approach I've taken is to calculate leaf-relative form is the two URIs have at least one leading path segment in common, and I think I have an algorithm that does this fairly reliably (i.e. passes lots of test cases). When I get time, my revised code will be on the web. #g -- [1] http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/uri/2003Feb/0028.html ------------ Graham Klyne For email: http://www.ninebynine.org/#Contact
