If the URI > ends in a non-name-character Do you mean that the name has only the last name character, or the maximal number of final name characters? I.e. (http://abc.com/foo#ba) (r) or (http://abc.com/foo#) (bar) ??? The latter would be much more intiutive, much more frequently "correct" and much more closely reflect common usage. The latter also fits with the recommendation that namespaces end in a non-name character, which if both recommendations are followed consistently, would provide reliable round-tripping of actual URI->qname partitioning. Could we suggest the latter treatment, please (if you meant the former) and make it clear regardless?
