Good, but I feel that I also owe you another look at the document as a whole, as I don't feel I have a well considered position at the moment as to whether the above is the best way to to do it. Since the TAG has asked me to gather their opinions too, it probably makes most sense for me to do that before going much further with my own. That said, the above looks like a significant step in the right direction to me. Also, feel free to adobpt or adapt for use in the normative section any of the text I inadvertently proposed for the non-normative. Thank you again for your careful attention to my concerns. -------------------------------------- Noah Mendelsohn IBM Corporation One Rogers Street Cambridge, MA 02142 1-617-693-4036 -------------------------------------- Shane McCarron <shane@aptest.com> 08/29/2008 12:53 PM To: noah_mendelsohn@us.ibm.com cc: www-tag@w3.org Subject: Re: [ISSUE 56] Request TAG guidance on preparing a response to the CURIE last call draft noah_mendelsohn@us.ibm.com wrote: > Thank you for pointing out the informative, normative distinction.

You are correct that there is never a situation where a URI and a CURIE can peacefully co-exist in the same attribute value. Such an attribute would have to take as its value (at a minimum) the datatype URIorSafeCURIE as defined in Appendix A. So I think it makes sense (to me) that the clause say "MUST" instead of "SHOULD". I will of course need to ratify such a change with the working group. I will socialize the idea over there, but await your formal comments before making any real changes to the source. -- Shane P.
