Well, at least it's good to see that URIs as currently defined produce a similar empty and unsatisfying feeling in some quarters of the RDF community as well as in some quarters of the XML community. I'll repeat my suggestion from earlier: either clarify RFC 2396 and give it some meat - on the difficult questions like what a resource is, what an identifier is, and how to compare resources and identifiers - or just call it syntax for identifiers and leave it at that. I'm happy to see this latest draft as a guide to URIs, but I don't think it rates status other than informational. Simon St.Laurent XML Elements of Style / XML: A Primer, 2nd Ed.
