> i had understood the file scheme to always require a host Definitely not - RFC1738 says: As a special case, <host> can be the string "localhost" or the empty string; this is interpreted as `the machine from which the URL is being interpreted'. It does not authorize omitting the // too as in file:/dev/null. On the other hand, the example you quote from the test suite uses it as the system id for a notation, which is not required to be dereferenced by the XML parser and whose use is implementation defined. The same goes for the use of "scheme:" and "d:", which appear in the system IDs of unparsed entities. -- Richard
