Michael Brauer commented on OFFICE-2140:
----------------------------------------

Re:  "Some of the time it is not stated what syntax this attribute value
shall have. "

It is clearly stated in section 18.913.1 and in each of the descriptions that the data type is anyURI.


Re: "What is the base for resolution of relative references (assuming they
are allowed)."

For plain XML files, the usual and well known rules regarding the base apply. For relative URI contained in a package, the rules are described in part 3.


Re: "Any re-basing facilities? Can an xml:base be incorporated/respected?"

xml:base is not defined by the schema. Conforming document cannot use it, but extended conforming documents may.

Re: "Often it is mentioned such attributes specify a "file"."
The term "file" isn't use here to indicate a file URL, but in a broader meaning. The may be clarified. Some suggestion will follow in a later comment.

Re: "Sometimes the XLink spec is ignored and the attribute can contain
arbitrary information"

The XLink spec is not ignored. URIs may be used to reference arbitrary resources. This includes database connections.

Re: "Presumably on occasions there are further restrictions on the MIME
type of the referenced resource and/or rules for how the returned
information is to be processed."

There no restrictions are mentioned, such restrictions do not exist for conforming documents.
