[Oops, I hit send prematurely a moment ago.] > From: Pat Hayes [mailto:phayes@ihmc.us] > [ . . . ] > Does the HTML spec mention denotation? Yes, but not using that word. :) The HTML 4.01 spec uses the term "refer to": http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/intro/intro.html#h-2.1.2 and the text/html media type spec RFC 2854 uses the term "designates": http://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc2854.txt and URI spec RFC 3986 uses the term "identfied": http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc3986.txt as does most of the WebArch document: http://www.w3.org/TR/webarch/#id-resources In these contexts I think all of these terms are intended to mean the same thing, which is the idea that a URI is associated with a resource: http://www.w3.org/TR/webarch/#uri-assignment I currently prefer the term "denote", but pick one of the others if you prefer.
