Since the prefix mapping is permitted to be anything, this can be prefix='http://www.example.com/partial_' and suffix='folder/datapoint/item' to render 'http://www.example.com/partial_folder/datapoint/item' > > 7f whether the dereferencing of the IRI mapped to the prefix is > required to yield a useful and relevant information resource. > > > XHTML : Not required > because it is not required by XML Namespaces, and also because we believe the prefix could be a partial, non-sensical IRI without the suffix. Otherwise, great summary Misha. Thanks for the hard work! -- Shane P. McCarron Phone: +1 763 786-8160 x120 Managing Director Fax: +1 763 786-8180 ApTest Minnesota Inet: shane@aptest.com
