Subject: Issue: do we map to URIs or URI References?
As part of my general cleanup to the document, I need to tackle carefully the issue of what we map to and from. My first inclination was to say that we map from external identifiers and URIs to URI references. However, after further consideration, I'm not sure that's right. I think we map URIs to URIs, not URI references. In other words, I think these should be non-conformant: <system systemId="http://example.com/foo" uri="http://example.com/bar#xyz"/> <uri name="http://example.com/someResource" uri="http://example.com/somewhereElse?id=3"/> My reasoning is that an application might very well strip off a fragment identifier, grab a resource (going through a catalog) and then search for the fragment identifier inside that resource. Getting back a resource with a fragment identifier from the catalog would be confusing at best and broken at worst. Comments?
