Primer XPackage examples [was Re: Review of RDF primer Revised Editor's Draft 21 July 2003]

Dave (and for everyone's information)--

Regarding your comments below on the XPackage examples:

I reviewed the XPackage examples again (I *thought* I'd validated them, 
and it turns out I had).  The complete example 37 (with all the 
namespaces declared) is:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xpackage:description
            xmlns:xpackage="http://xpackage.org/namespaces/2003/xpackage#"
            xmlns:rdf="http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#"
            xmlns:rdfs="http://www.w3.org/2000/01/rdf-schema#"
            xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/"
            xmlns:mime="http://xpackage.org/namespaces/2003/mime#"
            xmlns:x="http://xpackage.org/namespaces/2003/xml#"
            xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">
     <rdf:RDF>
<!--doc.html-->
         <rdf:Description rdf:about="urn:example:xhtmldocument-doc">
           <rdfs:comment>The XHTML document.</rdfs:comment>
           <xpackage:location xlink:href="doc.html"/>
           <mime:contentType>application/xhtml+xml</mime:contentType>
           <x:namespace rdf:resource="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"/>
           <x:style rdf:resource="urn:example:xhtmldocument-stylesheet"/>
           <dc:creator>Garret Wilson</dc:creator>
           <xpackage:manifest rdf:parseType="Collection">
              <rdf:Description
                      rdf:about="urn:example:xhtmldocument-stylesheet"/>
              <rdf:Description
                      rdf:about="urn:example:xhtmldocument-image"/>
           </xpackage:manifest>
         </rdf:Description>

     </rdf:RDF>
</xpackage:description>

This validates in the W3C RDF validator.  In the generated triples, the 
xpackage:location property has a blank node as its object, and the blank 
node in turn has a http://www.w3.org/1999/xlinkhref property whose value 
is the literal "doc.html".  Example 38 works the same way.  Does this 
not square with your understanding of what's supposed to happen? 
Anyway, I'm going to substitute the above for what's in the Primer now; 
  it's a pain to have to add all the namespaces every time I validate 
the examples.
