->Anyway there is a general expectation in XML that system identifiers should >be URIs and that public identifiers should be SGML FPIs. I will be pedantic again. There may be a general expectation among the XML congnoscenti, but there is no general expectation "in XML", or in the wider community who assume that XML is what the published standard says it is, nothing more and nothing less. Because the XML standard says so little about what a "Public Identifier" is (and in particular, doesn't constrain it to be either public or an identifier), we can expect to find different sub-communities using them in all kinds of different ways. Certainly XML doesn't contain any rule to stop me using the characters "IANA" in my Public Identifier, and if the rule is written somewhere else, then I'm afraid I haven't read it and don't feel bound by it.
