Charles For the record, David Durand has pointed out this week that: ISO 9070 is very clear on the subject, and I quote: "3.10 Owner name: the portion of a public identifier that names its owner. NOTES .... 13 The owner of a public identifier is not necessarily the owner of the object it identifies" and from the introduction: "... and an 'owner name', which identifies the originator of the public identifier" ISO 8879 defines owner identifier as: "The portion of a public identifier that identifies the owner or orignator of public text" and defines public text as: "The text that is known beyond the context of a single document..." There would seem to be a conflict here. 8879's two rules can be conflated to read "_identifies the owner of the text_ that is known beyond the context of a single document" whereas 9070's definitions can be conflated to read "the portion of a public identifier that _names the owner of a public identifier_, who is not necessarily the owner of the object it identifies". These definitions seem to be contradictory. Additionally David has said: "IDN is not in 9070 rev 2, and thus is not suitable _de jure_; it is also unsuitable _de facto_, since domain names can be reused by different organizations. Unless Internet policies and 9070 have both changed, I think this is also wrong." and "and 9070 is more recent, normatively cited by 8879, and edited by the same editor; so I am inclined to prefer the 9070 reading." We need to review the relationship between these two standards. Martin xml-dev: A list for W3C XML Developers. To post, mailto:xml-dev@i...
