I just want the ability to assign an unchanging identifier (not a location) to a document. (Also a DTD , DTD fragment, etc. -- but that can wait.) Does the document also need a URL? OF course, if it is going over the Web. But I agree with Paul. Can't the folks who can't handle a PUBLIC identifier just ignore it? As many others have mentioned, my document may have many URLs, but It will have only one PUBLIC name. What use I make of that is my application's business. Yes? NO? --Debbie Lapeyre
