Re: [xdi] Groups - Sample XDI Document using v3a Univ. Schema (univ-schema-v3a-sample-XDI-document-v1.xml) uploaded

Here is an updated schema and a sample
xdi doc that uses it. There are several changes that we made to the schema
and they are: 

1) We removed the collection elements (refs, resources, links, etc...).
We did this as they were, in our opinion, simply unnecessary and a processing
burden. 

2)  We removed the 'physical' element and replaced the 'logical' element
with the 'authority' element to reflect the new understanding of the logical
data model. 

3) We introduced a new element 'XDI Address', we did this because the XDI
Address and the XRI are both logically and structurally different;

The XRI element logically indicates the location of 'this' node and can
have 0, 1 or more of each of authority, type and instance elements. This
establishes synonyms for nodes represented. 
The XDI Address logically represents the target of 'this' arc and can only
have 0 or 1 of each of authority, type and instance elements. (If there
were more than one they would have to be synonyms anyway and therefore
unnecessary, and if they weren't synonyms then the target is ambiguous
and therefore invalid.) 

Let me know what you think.

Hi.

It would be very helpful if you can post explanation notes to these two
documents so that people who were off-line can also cast thought and 
start discussing it.
