I think everyone would appreciate a detailed explanation. That's my feeling as well - it seems like a conflation of the expectations for URIs (abstract resource, negotiable media type) with URI references (concrete representation, media type known and used for fragment identifier interpretation.) If URI references require the same acceptance of contingency that URIs require, I'm afraid we're going to need a new mechanism in order to create hypertexts (and hypertext-based structures) using concrete XML documents. ------------- Simon St.Laurent - SSL is my TLA http://simonstl.com may be my URI http://monasticxml.org may be my ascetic URI urn:oid:1.3.6.1.4.1.6320 is another possibility altogether
