GIVEN that the XPath folks have said they did not intend to diverge from the intent of the Namespace spec, and that the Namespace folks have said they did not intend to support relative syntax (never mind absolutization) AND GIVEN that nobody has reported an XPath implementation that has taken the absolutization wording seriously, MOVED: That we declare the divergence an erratum, say "Oops, but that's the risk you accept in using Version 1.0 of anything", adopt the Forbid behavior, and stop spinning our wheels. We've established that no solution will make everyone happy. Forbid seems to generate the least total unhappiness, multiplying individuals by strength of reaction. ______________________________________ Joe Kesselman / IBM Research
