Hello, David, > > www.openmath.org should be openmath.example.org (openmath.org may be a >> known now but the example domains are the only domains IANA reserves) > >I believe you commented on this last time as well, bt this isn't a >"generic example" It is a real example. OpenMath and MathML are >very closely related (and historically linked) The examples are >specificaly examples showing how to relate MathML to OpenMath >Content Dictionaries, they wouldn't really make sense with example.org >URIs. Yes, I see that for instance a MathML example points to a definitionURL for N. MathML is however a W3C spec and if MathML needs OpenMath definitions OpenMath could be quoted and cited as a normative reference. I should point out that W3C has a persistence policy [1]. Non-resolving openmath.example.org URIs are my suggestion based on a single occasion of a domain change causing harm that no one could have predicted which is now part of an un-modifiable W3C resource. W3C Publication Rules [2] allow any validating example at this time so of course MathML is free to use openmath.org. Hope that explains. :-) [1] http://www.w3.org/Consortium/Persistence [2] http://www.w3.org/2003/05/27-pubrules.html -- Susan Lesch http://www.w3.org/People/Lesch/ mailto:lesch@w3.org tel:+1.858.483.4819 World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) http://www.w3.org/
