RE: Why is xml:base a URI *reference*?


RE:  Why is xml:base a URI *reference*?
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".

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.
