Re: [ISSUE 56] Request TAG guidance on preparing a response to the CURIE last call draft

Just so you all understand - it is not the intent of the XHTML 2 Working 
Group, nor the document authors, that CURIEs EVER be used in a context 
where a URI was already in use.  There is absolutely no circumstance in 
which such a use is appropriate as far as I am concerned.  CURIEs and 
SafeCURIEs are limited to deployment as values in new attributes in 
existing or new grammars.  I don't know how to make this any clearer to 
everyone.  If you all have suggested wording for the document that would 
help you and future readers grok this more readily, I am completely open 
to it.  And I am sure the rest of the working group is as well.
