So, for example... <q cite=" http://example.com/video/123 "> <img src="http://example.com/thumbnail/123"; /> </q> <a type="video/mpeg" href=" http://example.com/video/123";>[download]</a> The "cite" attribute (of the <q> element) and the "href" attribute (for the <a> element) could still be matched up to find thumbnail, in this configuration too.
(Sorry for replying to my own e-mail message again....) If we still had the "urn" attribute on the <a> element, we could use it to specify alternatives of the same video. So, for example... <q cite="http://example.com/video/123/mpeg";> <img src="http://example.com/thumbnail/123"; /> </q> <a urn="urn:uuid:0a8d2f83-d5d2-44e7-bde9-319aaadc219c" type="video/mpeg" href="http://example.com/video/123/mpeg";>[MPEG]</a> <a urn="urn:uuid:0a8d2f83-d5d2-44e7-bde9-319aaadc219c" type="video/quicktime" href="http://example.com/video/123/mov ">[QuickTime]</a> Just to say it explicitly, the "cite" attribute matches only one of those links. (It could be any of them. It doesn't matter.) Alternatively, I think it would probably be semantically OK if the urn was even put in there -- in the "cite" attribute. As in... <q cite="urn:uuid:0a8d2f83-d5d2-44e7-bde9-319aaadc219c"> <img src="http://example.com/thumbnail/123"; /> </q> <a urn="urn:uuid:0a8d2f83-d5d2-44e7-bde9-319aaadc219c" type="video/mpeg" href="http://example.com/video/123/mpeg";>[MPEG]</a> <a urn="urn:uuid:0a8d2f83-d5d2-44e7-bde9-319aaadc219c" type="video/quicktime" href="http://example.com/video/123/mov ">[QuickTime]</a> (That way you don't have to play favorites.) Any chance we can get the "urn" attribute on the <a> element back? :-) (And note... for those that think that "urn:uuid:0a8d2f83-d5d2-44e7-bde9-319aaadc219c" looks ugly. You do NOT have to use URN's that look like that. Another example of a URN is: "urn:ietf:rfc:3023".)
