I agree that the definition needs to be made precise. This should happen in XLink rather than XML Base. The intention what you'd expect: XLink gives the algorithm for turning XML Resource Identifiers into URIs, and something is an XML Resource Identifier if applying that algorithm results in a URI. By the way, this is not a new problem: the definition of system identifiers in XML has a production, but it is also supposed to be converted to a URI by the same escaping process (the text in XML 1.x was derived from that in XLink before the XML Resource Identifier terminology was introduced). So what's supposed to happen with an XML system identifier that isn't a URI after escaping? -- Richard
