Re: issue 168 proposal: xsi:type of external references in Encoding

 Noah,
 I agree with your split of 1.
 You once proposed a text on 1a by adding that external
references, otherwise untyped, have no type. I suggested that
instead of this we just remove the rule which says every value
has a type. Which would you prefer, if the WG decides to go 1a?
 Best regards,
