I don't have a >pointer. Graham, have you raised this on the lists? Not recently. I believe I raised this on the XML namespace/URI discussion some time ago, and periodically buttonhole individuals. I did raise this on URI-IG in a message dated 25-Jan. The matter was raised again in the RDF-IG F2F at the technical plenary, at which time the response (if I understood correctly) was that Web resources and RDF resources are not the same set of values. #g ------------ Graham Klyne GK@NineByNine.org
