Daniel, There is nothing HTTP specific in the description of how to compare URIs - it just happens that HTTP URIs "use" all features of the URI spec. This is why the section is called "URI Comparison". The rules are general for any URI. The other point that I made was that "it is ok to do octet-by-octet comparison if you take into account relative URIs". If an application wants to do smarter comparison then it is free to do so but you don't have to. So, the answers to your questions are no and no but that is also not what was said. > - why HTTP only ? what's happen if I want to put Schemas which are the > binding contract for my electronic commerce on a secure https server ? > should we duplicate all rules applying to HTTP to HTTPS in the namespace > spec ? > - should all that protocol dependant rules be added to a data language > description ?
