This mostly looks OK, but I am vaguely uncomfortable about the clause that says: The general rule then, is that whenever (and only when) an esn takes the form of a URI, its definition is derived [...] I think that determining whether an ESN "takes the form of a URI" is non-trivial; I wouldn't be comfortable coding it off the top of my head, for example. Wouldn't it be simpler to say: Whenever the XML record syntax is specified, the ESN is interpreted as a URI. ? _/|_ _______________________________________________________________ /o ) \/ Mike Taylor <mike@indexdata.com> http://www.miketaylor.org.uk )_v__/\ "It is stupid to be so fat.
