heads up: XML-URI discussions

RDF IG,

Quick note to make sure you're all aware of a discussion that has just
bubbled over from the XML working groups into a special-purpose public
mailing list, mailto:xml-uri@w3.org

archives: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/xml-uri/
intro: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/xml-uri/2000May/0000.html

The discussion addresses some detailed technical concerns relating the XML
namespaces spec to URIs, URI references and relative URIs. It therefore
relates to RDF's use of XML as a serialization syntax and to the RDF
Schema 1.0 Candidate Recommendation's normative reference to the XML
Namespaces REC. 

XMLhack attempts a summary of discussions as of may 20th at
http://xmlhack.com/read.php?item=527

The xml-uri list has seen 520 messages since May 15th; if anyone manages
to read a decent % of the traffic, a summary might be useful. 

I won't get a chance to look at the archives properly until next week but
wanted to make sure the Interest Group was aware of the debate.

happy reading,

Dan
