   RE: [xml-dev] Comparable considered necessary

[ Lists Home | Date Index | Thread Index ]

Err.. right.  I fail to see the distinction.  I have 
to get the cat's attention one way or another or 
accept the name on face value.   It comes down 
to the will to dererference, did the cat leave 
Thing One or Thing Two to explain things, and 
do I accept the interchangeability of Thing One 
and Thing Two as authorized representatives.

The name inside the name documents the authority. 
I have to accept it as being asserted.  I don't 
have to accept what it asserts.  The URI agreement 
is the systemic agreement of the former.  The latter 
is accepted or negotiated.

No, no.  Inside a *namespace* name is a name of the source of authority
for that name.
