I am unwilling to specify any default resolution mechanism for PUBLIC identifiers. This should be at the discretion of the user agent. (And by resolution I mean what Peter does, figuring out the indirection and obtaining the item.) One can say that a catalogue is the publisher's advice on how to resolve his PIs, but the client should not be restricted to that method. (After all, the catalogue will grow outdated and its mappings will begin to fail, in time.)

Paul Grosso has posted two messages that, taken together, propose a such a mechanism. Could those who claim to be interested in seeing public identifiers implemented in XML please comment on Paul's proposal? Jon
