Hi, An onlooker's observation. This situation is an interoperability mess. The chance that a bunch of independent implmentations and validation tools converged on the same interpretations of allowed/disallowed is zero - this discussion thread hasn't visibly converged.

However, JC> I don't speak for the WG. And I am equally drawing on recollections of a working lunch at the Tech Plenary, with Paul Grosso and others, where the notion that the infoset property for the base URI 'represented a URI' rather than 'contained a URI' and thus, was compatible with IRIs, was discussed. I agree that the term IRI is a more recent coinage than many of the specifications which allowed a wider range of non-ASCII characters to 'represent URIs' after escaping. I disagree with your assertion that simply using XML Base (without dereferencing) forces a hexification. -- Chris Lilley mailto:chris@w3.org Interaction Domain Leader Co-Chair, W3C SVG Working Group W3C Graphics Activity Lead Co-Chair, W3C Hypertext CG -- No virus found in this outgoing message.
