I'd suggest that a clarification/revision of RFC2396 would be a good idea _prior to_ the W3C taking up any general consideration of how XML and URIs fit together. I'd like to think that a few of the past 1700 messages could have been avoided if RFC2396 was a tighter and more comprehensive document. >For many IETFers, I think an overview like this is quite appropriate and >helpful. Agreed, but I don't think it helps substantially with the kinds of issues that have been repeatedly raised on this list. Comparison of URIs is only the beginning, and I note that this draft doesn't refer to either Henrik Frystyk Nielsen's favorite RFC (2616) or Larry Masinter's favorite (2557).
