Have you looked carefully at RFC 1738 lately (URLs)? 1) There is no production there for URLchar. If I had to guess, I'd guess we want the production for xchar (not helpfully named, is it?). 2) There's not much there about relative references, is there :-( 3) Unless I can't decode their semi-bnf correctly, the syntax we all use for file URLs is actually bogus, namely file:/home/ht/mymasterpiece.xml As I read the relevant productions, we should be saying file:///home/ht/mymasterpiece.xml Do we care? Does anyone? 4) Is /home/ht/mymasterpiece.xml a valid relative URL if the base is a file? I.e. is <!doctype foo SYSTEM '/home/ht/xml/foo.dtd'> valid XML? ht
