Subject: RE: [office] 17.5 on IRIs
Patrick, Here's what I notice, looking over the complete 17.5 more carefully: 1. The first sentence of 17.5 suggests that relative URI can be used to reference files within the file system. (On the call, I thought that was allowed, then I thought it wasn't, and now I think it is again.) Suggested clean-up: change "but can also" in 686 line 5 to read "and can also". (This is minor). This is a very handy thing (e.g., with master documents and other cases where material is incorporated in a document by reference), since it allows the material to be moved as a group and have the collection still works. [I note further that the preservation of referential integrity for *any* URI that lead out of a package is no more assured for absolute URI than for relative URI.] 2. It appears we are attempting to ban URI schemes that might allow access to a part of a Zip file. I don't think that is in our power. So some statements in 17.5 about how parts of a package are not to be accessed are too strong in their wording. 3. I suspect what we want to say is that within files contained within packages, URIs that refer to sub files in packages (1) shall be relative, (2) shall only refer to sub files in the same package, and (3) shall not in any way depend on the current location and any naming of the package containing the referencing file and the target sub-file. [I am not sure this closes all of the doors, but it is as close as I can figure what is intended. We also need to consider whether it could be should rather than shall, although I think it would be a stretch to change it from shall/must at this point.] 4. If (3) is the gist of it, I think we can make 17.5 much simpler. I will step away from the keyboard now, waiting to see what others have to say about this. - Dennis -----Original Message----- From: Patrick Durusau [mailto:patrick@durusau.net] http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/office/200809/msg00067.html Sent: Monday, September 22, 2008 09:55 To: ODF office Subject: [office] 17.5 on IRIs [ ... ]
