Subject: SYSTEM identifier use case
This use case came up while I was processing the proceedings files for the XML conference. In this case, I have several files, each in their own directory, and the DTD and associated other files in another directory, so we have 01-01-01/01-01-01.xml 01-02-01/01-02-01.xml dtd/gcapaper.dtd dtd/isoamsa.ent etc Because different people author the XML files, and the system ID in the file always ends up different, with only the "gcapaper.dtd" at the end being the same, I want some way to say "only look at the last bit of the system URI, the gcapaper.dtd, and match that to ../dtd/gcapaper.dtd". Unfortunately SAX always sends the absolutized URI, and this causes problems (I get too much of the directory path) Norm implemented an extension to his resolver which does what I want - <ext:systemSuffix suffix="gcapaper.dtd" uri="../dtd/gcapaper.dtd"/> but of course it isn't widely implemented. Is this a use case that other people also think is worth covering in the spec? regards, Lauren --- Lauren Wood, Textuality Chair, ER TC
