Well, provided the string contains only US-ASCII characters, that's pretty much the end of the story. But if it has other characters (i.e. if it's not actually a URI), you have to reduce it to the URI character set before doing the strcmp(). And if what's in the XML document is a relative URI reference, you need to combine it with the base before doing the strcmp(). So yes, I think there's something worth saying. -- Dan Connolly, W3C http://www.w3.org/People/Connolly/
