CURIE Syntax 1.0
2007-11-26: The XHTML2 Working Group has published a Working Draft of CURIE Syntax 1.0. The aim of this document is to outline an abbreviated syntax for expressing Uniform Resource Identifiers (URIs). The proposed technology does not target the XHTML Family Markup Languages exclusively. The target audience for this document is designers of technology (e.g., markup languages), not the users of that technology. Learn more about the HTML Activity. (Permalink)

This document introduces an "opt-in policy" mechanism whereby people managing a resource can declare whether other sites can retrieve it.
