Again: could you please be a bit more precise? Which issue should have been decided and was not? As it was published, the namespace rec explicitly says that a namespace aware XML processor should consider namespace URIs to be identical if and only if (!) they are byte-wise identical. It explicitly allows any application sitting on top of the XML processor to do whatever it wants with the string -- this includes dereferencing the URI to retrieve something, but it does not *require* it. jr > -----Original Message----- > From: owner-xml-dev@x...
