Description Doug Davis 2009-07-17 18:35:10 UTC 
Mex says:
[Body]/mex:GetMetadata/mex:Dialect@Content

    When this OPTIONAL attribute is present, the response MUST include only Metadata Sections of this specified content form. If the specified content form is not available then the response MUST include zero Metadata Sections of the specified form for this URI/Identifier pair.

But its not clear what should happen if the URI is totally unknown.

Proposal:
Modify the text to indicate that unknown URIs result in zero metadata
sections too.

ex (new text in **):
If the specified content form is not available, **or not known**, then the response MUST include zero Metadata Sections of the specified form for this URI/Identifier pair.
