   RE: [xml-dev] Excellent IETF BCP on XML

[ Lists Home | Date Index | Thread Index ]

Yep.  However, since packets are sniffable?  
I'm trying to envision how many ways it can 
be abused, for example, alteration en route 
to a target that believes what it is getting 
is safe to dereference.  Yes, they would be
nuts not to check the value, but do they 
always.   Gotta be paranoid given the stakes 
and the times.  This isn't 1993.

I have this nervous feeling that in the 
80/20, think small, dare to do less, philosophies,  
the URzedEverywhere implications aren't 
completely thought through and we have entered 
a historical timeframe where they have to be.

Don't dereference it unless you need to and your trust it. Same as any 
other URI.
