Lately, in all but the most formal venues, I've been striving to use the informal term "URL" instead of the baggage-loaded "URI". I'm thrilled that now "URI" is becoming an informal term as well. Maybe now we all can go back to saying "URL". .micah -----Original Message----- From: John Cowan [mailto:cowan@m...] Sent: Thursday, January 08, 2004 6:17 AM To: Bjoern Hoehrmann Cc: xml-dev@l...

The current draft of RFC 2396bis adopts the term "URI" generally in the sense of "URI reference", abandoning the old distinctions. Note that there is no BNF rule "URI" in 2396: the term "URI" is defined informally. -- You are a child of the universe no less John Cowan than the trees and all other acyclic http://www.reutershealth.com graphs; you have a right to be here. http://www.ccil.org/~cowan --DeXiderata by Sean McGrath jcowan@r... ----------------------------------------------------------------- The xml-dev list is sponsored by XML.org <http://www.xml.org>, an initiative of OASIS <http://www.oasis-open.org> The list archives are at http://lists.xml.org/archives/xml-dev/ To subscribe or unsubscribe from this list use the subscription manager: <http://lists.xml.org/ob/adm.pl>
