AFAIK this is no longer supported by the W3C. Being Java the package names use the w3.org domain name. If I find a bug, I can fix it in my copy, and reship. In this way I have modified resources that do not belong to me - but I think some people might think I am doing the world a service. (Of course, as a Jena developer, I believe I would be doing the world a bigger service by suggesting migrating to Jena!) I suspect legally I should check the terms and conditions of the download before doing such a bugfix. Jeremy
