Just to be sure, this actually reflects the position of the XML Linking WG on the subject, the XML Base disposition of comment lists the issue: http://www.w3.org/XML/2000/08/xmlbase-comments-20000810#IDATAVP I assume you agree (or at least acknoledge) the XML Linking WG decision since you did not answer to Paul's mail. If this is not the case please raise the issue ASAP (c.f. the chairs requests [1], and [2]).
