Subject: retrieving vs. dereferencing
I just had a potential issue pointed out to me, which I would like to get your input on. XML 1.0 version 1.0 stated "The SystemLiteral is called the entity's system identifier. It is a URI, which may be used to retrieve the entity." The word "retrieve" allowed for the possibility of a catalog sitting in the middle to point the system identifier at where it should be. XML 1.0 second edition changed that to "The SystemLiteral is called the entity's system identifier. It is a URI reference (as defined in [IETF RFC 2396], updated by [IETF RFC 2732]), meant to be dereferenced to obtain input for the XML processor to construct the entity's replacement text." The definition of derefencing seems to be rather fuzzy - is it fuzzy enough for us to be allowed to have a catalog processor in there? The URI RFC doesn't seem to allow for any catalog processor that I could see in its definition of the URI reference. Lauren
