So far I have: [snip] Web Services description (not only WSDL, but WS-Splat). Often used for identifying things like protocols, algorithms, styles, and such. Policies, features, properties. Anywhere where there's an initial list of enumerated values which is supposed to be open-ended/extensible. Also, TAG tends to ask any WG using QNames why they can't use URIs instead (I always somehow read these sorts of missives in the tone of voice of a six-year old saying "but I *want* a cookie! Why can't I have a *cookie*?" but s/cookie/URI/g). It's that whole universal-versus-uniform thing, I think. Amy! -- Amelia A. Lewis amyzing {at} talsever.com What's the end of a story?
