Re: XLink 1.1: XML Base confusion

/ Bjoern Hoehrmann <derhoermi@gmx.net> was heard to say:
| Dear XML Core Working Group,
|
|   http://www.w3.org/TR/2005/WD-xlink11-20050707/ section 5.4 notes "If
| the URI reference is relative, its absolute version must be computed by
| the method of [XML Base] before use." Due to the other problems in the
| same section, and considering that XML Base refers to a different
| version of the URI specification and requires behavior with respect to
| illegal characters that is inconsistent with RFC 3987, it is highly
| unclear what the implications of this conformance requirement are.
|
| Please change the draft such that XML Base and XLink 1.1 are consistent
| with respect to these matters. This will likely require updates to XML
| Base.

As near as we can tell, this is a suggestion to update XML Base so that
it is consistent with XLink 1.1 and IRI. The Core WG will undertake to
construct such an erratum to XML Base.

We do not see that this is actually a comment on the XLink 1.1 draft.
If you agree, please let us know.

                                        Be seeing you,
                                          norm
