Subject: Re: Proposal for XML syntax for catalogs
Hi Norm and Paul; I am substantially confused by the issues as they are currently stated, concerning the starting reference point [xml:base] fopr the file reference in the catalog. I see what Norm wrote: ************************* >At 18:13 2001 01 08 -0500, Norman Walsh wrote: >Following the 8 Jan 2001 decisions, here is a sample of the syntax as I understand it. >>... >> <group override="no" xml:base="absURI"> >>... ************************** This seems to be a clear statement that the OERTC's result will be that the xml:base will be an absolute URI. However, both of you seem to be in agreement that it will *not* be the case that the xml:base is required to be an absolute URI: At Tue, 09 Jan 2001 13:28:11 Norman Walsh wrote: (in response to Paul Grosso's email of Mon, 08 Jan 2001 18:18:19 ) >> I'd also point out that, though Norm's example used a value of "absURI" >>for xml:base, the value of xml:base needn't be an absolute URI. >Right. So the code sample that seems to be unambiguous in requiring an absolute URI for the xml:base, is by your agreement, only a suggestion that an absoulte URI be used? Would we not then be more clear about the state of our requirement if we were to write the requirement like this: ... <!ENTITY % URI " (absURI? | relURI?) " > <group override="no" xml:base="%URI;"> ... ...so that the URI can be whatever basic point of reference - xml:base - that the user's application works best with?
