The new text should not specify a lookup algorithm but rather say what the base resource identifier reference is (e.g., the base resource identifier reference of an element instance is that of its corresponding element.) -- Björn Höhrmann · mailto:bjoern@hoehrmann.de · http://bjoern.hoehrmann.de Weinh.
