	As a card-carrying pedant, I must urge the use of the word
"simplicity" rather than "simplification", as the second word of the
second paragraph. I suggest replacing "you might want to" with "you
might care to" in the second sentence of the same paragraph - yeah,
yeah, "wordsmithing" (but I AM a wordsmith!).
	 
	I like this change - it is simple and clear - these are good
properties for a standard, and particularly a primer.

	If that's the case, I propose to add the following paragraph to
the end of section 1.3 "Notational Conventions"

		The core specification of WSDL 2.0 supports
Internationalized Resource Identifiers or IRIs [add reference to
http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc3987 <http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc3987>
<http://www.w3.org/International/articles/idn-and-iri/> ].  IRIs are a
superset of URIs with added support for internationalization. The URI
syntax [add reference to http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc3986
<http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc3986> ] only allows the use of  a small set
of characters, including upper and lower case letters of the English
alphabet, European numerals and a few symbols. IRIs  allow the use of
characters from a wider range of language scripts.  
		 
		For simplification, examples throughout this primer only
use URIs.  If you are interested in the use of IRIs, you might want to
read the paper [add reference to
http://www.w3.org/International/articles/idn-and-iri/
<http://www.w3.org/International/articles/idn-and-iri/> ] prepared by
the W3C Internationalization Activity [add link to
http://www.w3.org/International/ <http://www.w3.org/International/> ]. 
		 

	Alternatively, If people are concerned that use of IRI is not
really a "notational convention", we may add a subsection under
"Introduction" for "Use of URI and IRI" with the same content as above.
The new structure of section 1 now looks like
	1. Introduction
<http://www.w3.org/TR/2005/WD-wsdl20-primer-20050803/#Introduction> 
	    1.1 Prerequisites
<http://www.w3.org/TR/2005/WD-wsdl20-primer-20050803/#Prerequisites> 
	    1.2 Structure of this Primer
<http://www.w3.org/TR/2005/WD-wsdl20-primer-20050803/#PrimerStructure> 
	    1.3 Use of URI and IRI
<http://www.w3.org/TR/2005/WD-wsdl20-primer-20050803/#notation> 
	    1.4 Notational Conventions
<http://www.w3.org/TR/2005/WD-wsdl20-primer-20050803/#notation> 
	 2. WSDL 2.0 Basics
<http://www.w3.org/TR/2005/WD-wsdl20-primer-20050803/#basics>

		IIRC, the WG was not prepared to do a global search and
replace of URI for IRI in the primer, as URIs are a familiar concept and
in almost all cases in the Primer the term is good enough.  Having one
statement pointing out that our use of URI instead of IRI is a
simplification should be sufficient.  We can confirm this on this week's
call if I've misrepresented the WG's decision.

		Hi Hugo, Hi Jonathan,

		 

		While working on proposing changes to the primer to
implement your suggestions in LC303 [1], I realize that we may also need
to do a global search in the Primer to replace the term URI with IRI to
be consistent with the core spec, in addition to adding a brief
introduction to IRI as you suggested.

		 

		However, I  notice that the resolution of LC74a [2] ,
which caused the URI to IRI changes in Part 1 and 2,  contains a few
exemptions. The resolution of LC74a says <quote>Change URI to IRI
throughout except URI attr and prop on featiures and properties and SOAP
module, which becomes "ref"; exempt appendix E where we talk about
namespace URIs, and section 4.11.2 in adjunct spec.</quote>.  

		 

		It's not clear to me what the last two exemptions really
are since section "Appendix E" and "section 4.11.2 in adjunct specs" are
completely changed/removed in the current version of the spec. In
particular,

			*	If I recall it right, the former Part 1
appendix E is now part of the Primer section 5.6 [3] which talks about
namespace URIs.   Does the exemption for "Appendix E" in LC74a mean that
namespace URI should not be changed to IRI? if so, why? 
			*	I have no idea what the "adjunct section
4.11.2" was, do you know what  the exemption for "section 4.11.2" is?
