Re: [XForms 1.1] i18n comment: Responsibility for useability of IRIs unclear (PR#13)

Felix,

due to other last call comments, src was moved from host language control to
XForms, where it is governed by rules of xsd:anyURI from schema 1.0. Since
Schema 1.0 doesn't support IRIs clearly and completely we don't reference the
IRI RFC.

Regards,
Ulrich Nicolas Lissé
