Subject: Re: [tm-pubsubj] Subject Indicator and Subject Indicator Reference(again)



* Murray Altheim
| 
| Well, I think rather than me continue to attempt to paraphrase the 
| specifications and notes for these things, I suggest we look to the 
| authoritive documents themselves.
| 
|   "Uniform Resource Identifiers (URI): Generic Syntax" (RFC 2396)
|   ftp://ftp.isi.edu/in-notes/rfc2396.txt
| 
| I would direct your attention to section 4, "URI References". It's
| unfortunately not a very clear document.

If I read this correctly, what they are saying is that anything that
appears in a document is a URI reference, which is the syntactical
expression of the URI, and that the process of transforming the one
into the other involves more than a simple copying.

Does this match your understanding, Murray?

It seems to me that this is terminology that we need to get right when
we write the actual recommendation, but that in the discussions we are
currently having the distinction between "URI" and "URI reference" is
immaterial. 
 
| I suggest we toe the line as close as possible in conforming to both
| of these documents, if that's possible.

I agree.
