Re: Proposal for XML syntax for catalogs

[Norman Walsh <ndw@nwalsh.com>]

/ Paul Grosso <pgrosso@arbortext.com> was heard to say:
| TR9401 says:
|   The BASE keyword specifies that relative storage object identifiers (SOIs)
|   in the right hand side of entries following this entry in the current
|   catalog entry file should be resolved relative to the storage object
|   identifier of this BASE entry.
| 
| That would apply equally to the SOI in CATALOG and DELEGATE entries.
| Therefore, I assume we plan to do likewise.  Using Norm's example,

That's what I intended. In the draft I will post shortly, anything
with an attribute type identified as "uriReference" would be effected
by xml:base.

| I'd also point out that, though Norm's example used a value of "absURI"
| for xml:base, the value of xml:base needn't be an absolute URI.

Right.

                                        Be seeing you,
                                          norm
