   RE: [xml-dev] Comparable considered necessary

[ Lists Home | Date Index | Thread Index ]

The example was purposely simplistic to illustrate a point. You and Manos have failed to see the point which indicates that it is probably more subtle than I thought. It isn't worth going into a lengthy exposition about though so I'll just leave it at "An identifier is not a location". 
 
Feel free to disagree.

	This is not completely true in the http: scheme.

	Web dereferencing is lossy; big deal. Be more discerning in your choice
	of schema names.

	Perhaps you shouldn't be throwing herrings about then.
