How to provide metadata for namespace URIs that aren't HTTP URLs. You might want to take a look at Dynamic Delegation Discovery System (DDDS): http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-urn-ddds-toc-01.txt http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-urn-ddds-05.txt http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-urn-dns-ddds-database-07.txt http://www.ietf.org/html.charters/urn-charter.html There has been some discussion (http://www.google.com/search?q=RDDL+DDDS&btnG=Google+Search , http://lists.xml.org/archives/xml-dev/200101/threads.html#00722) about how RDDL and DDDS could interact. > That said, I think RDDL is a good start, NOT a solution for the entire set of > problems involving discovery of metadata about XML documents but a worthwhile > step in that direction.

Since I rarely care about "solutions for the entire set of problems" once we're past the syntactical foundations of markup, that seems okay to me. -- Simon St.Laurent Ring around the content, a pocket full of brackets Errors, errors, all fall down! http://simonstl.com
