That’s a good point; though there’s a slight difference as namespace URIs must be absolute in the first place. The `href` isn’t necessarily unique, now that I think about it, if you play games with `xml:base`: <link href="comments.xml" rel="replies" /> <link href="comments.xml" rel="replies" xml:base="./foo/" /> Of course, it’s entirely reasonable to declare this madness and refuse to support it. Maybe we need something like _A Plea for Sanity_ that Joe English wrote about namespaces, for xml:base. > The draft should specify character-by-character comparison of > the resolved URI's. Yeah, probably. Regards, -- Aristotle Pagaltzis // <http://plasmasturm.org/>
