Hi Lee,

Hi Brian!

Discussions on these issues seem to have died down, yet the issues have not been resolved and the new RDFCore working group are not even going to address them.

There is an issue on the RDF Issues list:

http://www.w3.org/2000/03/rdf-tracking/#rdfms-qname-uri-mapping

Does this, together with the link to Perry's message cover the issues you'd like to see resolved, or are there other aspects you'd like to draw the WG's attention to?

Brian

The link to Perry's message covers one aspect, "weird, unwieldy namespaces with different semantics to other XML namespaces" - i.e. the deviation of namespace treatment in RDF from its use in other XML technologies and the implied intent of the XML Namespace spec (as stated in one of the appendices [1], IOW it was made clearer and normative).

The two other issues were:

[1] http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml-names#ns-expnames [2] http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-rdf-interest/2001Apr/0346.html

regards Lee

PS, I for one find it very reassuring that the issues list is now being actively maintained, keep up the good work!
