Then adding just this URL into spec should be fine. I was reading printed version of spec and having link to data-URI was not really very convenient. ;-) 53569 3 mike 2011-08-04 05:15:14 +0000 mass-move component to LC1 54940 4 ian 2011-08-14 06:57:12 +0000 EDITOR'S RESPONSE: This is an Editor's Response to your comment.

Ian, would it be possible to add a line saying that? It isn't at all obvious reading the spec that that base 64 encoded data URL has essentially the same data as the entity table given earlier. Would you consider changing the public identifiers given in the following list all correspond to <a href="data:...>the URL given by this link</a>. to something like the public identifiers given in the following list all correspond to <a href="data:...>the URL given by this link</a>, which defines all the entities listed in the section <a href="#...>Named character references</a> which are compatible with the XML syntax. 55053 6 jirka 2011-08-15 07:47:38 +0000 I second David's suggestion. Adding such simple explanatory text will eliminate any possible confusion. 55651 7 ian 2011-08-23 05:01:15 +0000 Sure, I can add some pointer to that section. 57274 8 ian 2011-09-23 22:34:06 +0000 EDITOR'S RESPONSE: This is an Editor's Response to your comment.
