Re: XLink 1.1: Security Considerations

/ Bjoern Hoehrmann <derhoermi@gmx.net> was heard to say:
| No, RFC 1738 is obviously very outdated, I would instead expect that the
| security considerations of RFC 3987 apply, a clear description on which
| considerations are out of scope, which are in scope, implications of
| user agents implementing e.g. XLink and XHTML where the same link might
| go to multiple destinations, probably that UTR #36 applies, that XLink
| in XML documents is subject to the security considerations of XML and
| XML media types where applicable, and so on, depending on what is con-
| sidered in scope and out of scope. It might of course be possible that
| some of the items above are considered out of scope, but certainly not
| all of them.

While the WG recognizes that adding more detailed information about
security considerations would be valuable, it does not consider such
additions to be within the narrow scope of its charter for XLink 1.1.
Consequently, the WG does not expect to make any changes with respect
to security considerations for XLink 1.1.

Please let us know if you find this explanation satisfactory.

                                        Be seeing you,
                                          norm
