It's also very common these days in the standards community, and I think for very good reasons, to identify standards versions via a URI that can also be used to retrieve the standard. This is done by, for instance, the W3C, the larger XML/SGML community, OASIS, and freedesktop.org. I think this is a good tradition to follow. -- Russ Allbery (r...@debian.org) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-project-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
