Text for 17.5?

[Patrick Durusau <patrick@durusau.net>]

Greetings!

After Michael's last post on this issue I don't know if we were all 
stunned into silence or if there is general agreement so I thought I 
would ask.

The text as I now understand the proposal (subject to correction) is:

*****
A relative-path reference (as defined in ?4.2 of [RFC3986], except
that it may contain the additional characters that are allowed in IRI
references [RFC3987]) that occurs in a file that is contained in a
package has to be resolved exactly as it would be resolved if the whole
package gets unzipped into a directory at its current location. The base
IRI for resolving relative-path references is the one that has to be
used to retrieve the (unzipped) file that contains the relative-path
reference.

Every IRI reference that is not a relative-path reference does not need
any special processing. Absolute-paths can not reference files inside a
package. IRI references inside a package may address anything
addressable by an IRI that is outside of a package or within the same 
package,
but no IRI outside of a package may address any location within any 
package.
****

Would replace the following language (assuming Dennis and I can agree on 
the line count, ;-) ):

> A relative-path reference (as described in §5 of [RFC2396]) that

In ODF 1.0 and there will be references to other versions of that text.

Yes?

Or better yet, does anyone object to that resolution?

I have a presentation tomorrow but assuming I don't see any objections I 
will be posting a revised version on this point early Saturday morning 
KST which will be late Friday afternoon in the US.

Hope everyone is having a great week!

Patrick
