Right. It does. Let's replace http: with namespace: then
replace every '/' with '.' or do something else that will conform
to that paper ( I have no understanding why namespace 
name should be conformant to URI, but ... oh... well... 
I trust you: you say : "It should be URI, with scheme:
and other stuff for some holy reasons" - let it be. But 
why it is *URL* ? )

Rgds.Paul.

PS. I think you'r joking on me.

So here is a document:

http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml-names/

The term 'URI reference' is not defined in this document, but 
the document reffers to RFC2396. There is no 
hyperliks pointing to actual location of RFC2396.

I had to use Google to find this RFC. 

Before W3C will build a Semantic Web - is there any chance 
I can find core W3C documents not using Google ?
