This is an archived snapshot of W3C's public bugzilla bug tracker, decommissioned in April 2019. Please see the home page for more details.
Description - The proposal is to refer in WS-Policy Framework [1] and WS-Policy Attachment [2] to Internationalized Resource Identifiers (IRIs, RFC 3987 [3]) instead of Uniform Resource Identifier (URIs, RFC 3986 [4]). Justification - Currently, WS-Policy Framework and WS-Policy Attachment refer to URIs as defined by RFC 3986. To accomplish a world-wide adoption of these specifications, IRIs as defined by RFC 3987 should be used instead. IRIs allow the non-escaped use of non-ASCII characters in resource identifiers. Since the creation of RFC 3987, W3C has supported this standard [5]. It has been adopted in a wide range of W3C technologies, including XQuery 1.0 [6]. WSDL 2.0 [7], an important target of WS-Policy, also refers to RFC 3987. Target - WS-Policy Framework and WS-Policy Attachment both need to be changed. Proposal - Change reference to RFC 3986 to RFC 3987 in [3] and [4]. Please follow also the thread at http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-ws-policy/2006Jul/0040.html (original post of this issue).
