RE: [xml-dev] URI indigestion
What would be the impact on RDF if it used these 
instead of URIs?

Honest question because I don't use RDF but note 
that the current controversy started there.

I loved the message in your sig.  It speaks 
to the "politics of meaning".

I do like, and consequently there is a mapping from
Public IDs to a subset of URNs (those which begin
"urn:publicid:").
