Re: XMLP Issue 452 closed

I am opposed to the resolution.

The whole premice behind the split of MTOM into two separate 
specification was precisely so it could be used by other specification, 
in particular SVG.

The decision to not address data: URIs attributes was made when MTOM was 
based on the XQuery data model. The data model made it difficult to 
support such attributes.

The XMLP WG has recently decided to revert back to a simpler 
Infoset-based model. This change, I believe, now makes it much easier to 
support data: URI attributes.

I also consider the Infoset change to be a significant change, and 
kindly ask that issue 452 be reopened and dealt with, possibly along the 
lines of [1].

Thank you,

Jean-Jacques.
