In this whole web/SGML excercise, I regard the web as an SGML system (with entity resolution equivalent to URL resoltion). So as long as the universe of discourse is the web, URLs as system IDs are reliable. XML is intended to be interoperable with systems that exceed the confines of the web, and public identifiers can facilitate that interoperability. (They can provide redundancy within the web as well.) But if the web is your only target, URLs are all you need. -- Dan Connolly http://www.w3.org/People/Connolly/
