I agree about URCs being fishy... still, we're only on the hook if someone thinks they've solved the URC problem (which is a small worry for the near future). >URNs would be PUBLIC, not SYSTEM, I would think. Well, they ought to be, but my point was that the sentiment against PUBLIC could carry the day and we will still be alright (assuming that the URN: prefix goes through). I mean from an SGML point of view URNs are SYSTEM (because they're not native to SGML itself). I tend to agree that encoding FPIs as URNs in a SYSTEM identifier is kinda weird, but then the whole web is kinda weird... >Regards, > Terry Allen Fujitsu Software Corp. tallen@fsc.fujitsu.com >"In going on with these experiments, how many pretty systems do we build, > which we soon find outselves obliged to destroy?" - Benjamin Franklin > A Davenport Group Sponsor: http://www.ora.com/davenport/index.html _________________________________________ David Durand dgd@cs.bu.edu \ david@dynamicDiagrams.com Boston University Computer Science \ Sr. Analyst http://www.cs.bu.edu/students/grads/dgd/ \ Dynamic Diagrams --------------------------------------------\ http://dynamicDiagrams.com/ MAPA: mapping for the WWW \__________________________
