Subject: talking about types
There are a number of places where the text talks about the value type of a particular element. For example: > <Subject> is a xs:anyURI value which identifies a resource. Now technically, <Subject> is NOT of type "xs:anyURI", it's of type "xrd:anyURI" (note the different namespace). xrd:anyURI is a very lightweight extension of xs:anyURI which allows for arbitrary attributes. So while it is inaccurate to say that the <Subject> element is of type "xs:anyURI", it would not necessarily be inaccurate to say that the text content of the <Subject> element is of type xs:anyURI. Do folks think that the above sentence should be updated to reflect this, or am I just splitting hairs? If it should be changed, should it be changed to declare a type of xrd:anyURI? Or rather should it stick with xs:anyURI and just be more specific that the **value** of the element has that type? For what it's worth, I'm updating the Common Data Types sections at the beginning of the document to more accurately state: > All XRD URI reference values have or extend the type xs:anyURI thanks, Will
