>From one struggling to understand XML, this sounds like a very sensible
approach (dropping the http://, or at least http:).  The http:
effectively, or at least seemingly, says that what follows can be
accessed using the http protocol, when in fact that is not the intent.
Regardless of how the well-informed view the issue, casual users will
