A distinctive aspect of the definition of anyURI is that the format of clearly defining both the lexical and value spaces is not followed. As a result, it is unclear what either is. The [XLink] Locator Attribute text is the key definition, and this talks about an escaping "procedure [which] is applied when passing the URI reference to a URI resolver." Since the lexical-to-value mapping does not involve resolving the URI, I take the value space to be a set of strings to which this procedure could be applied (but is not). This is consistent with the following phrase: "For anyURI, length is measured in units of characters (as for string)." found in the discussion on length, which is applied to values in the value spaces. The lexical and value spaces effectively are identified, and the lexical-to-value mapping is the identity function. == I suggest clarifying text should be added. Jeremy Carroll
