David, What does URI canonicalization have to do with conformance? What error are you talking about - what will break? There is nothing in the current namespace spec that prevents an application from deducing that two things are identical at any level in the processing so I am interested in hearing what you build your assumptions on. > For namespace processing that is not sufficient. You must guarantee > that the URI specific normalisations are not done. Or to phrase it > another way mandate that the namespace parser knows no URI schemes. > > A processor that applies case folding to the host name and so > accepts this > > <xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" > xmlns:xsl="http://WWW.W3.ORG/1999/XSL/Transform"> > > as an XSL stylesheet is non conforming and in error. > > It would not at all be an improvement over the current situation > if the namespace spec was changed so that processors could or could > not accept this as XSL depending on how much they knew about the http > URI scheme.
