These two sections seem slightly at odds. Yep, I should have mentioned that last week -- Tim Bray's text (with considerable reduction for scope) was the last item added prior to the ID deadline, and so the issues regarding "." and ".." path segments are only partially addressed in draft 01. There are also some conflicts between the new section 6 and section 2 on characters. ....Roy
