Given the following definitions: * namespace processor: a tool that has no other purpose than to present the data model implicit in the namespace specification to applications in a legal manner * URI resource equality: a concept endorsed by the IETF in the future that allows to URIs to point to the same logical object * URI equivalence: multiple URIs pointing to the same resource Would it be legal, in your opinion, for a namespace processor to substitute an equivalent URI for the supplied one in presenting the namespace information to the application, just as it might substitute an equivalent prefix? In my opinion the answer to this question should be the same as the answer to the "relative URI" question. I haven't heard a clear answer to that one yet. -- Paul Prescod - ISOGEN Consulting Engineer speaking for only himself http://itrc.uwaterloo.ca/~papresco [Woody Allen on Hollywood in "Annie Hall"] Annie: "It's so clean down here."
