The current text uses "resolve" with respect to both concepts, which causes the notion of resolution to float between two levels. This could cause confusion on the part of a reader who is quite so attuned to the nuance of context as the spec authors. I would suggest that reference element should *refer* while schemes should *point*. Reference elements are *dereferenced* by deref(); whereas schemes are not explicitly an argument to deref()--I believe. 17415 1 pratul.dublish 2007-10-25 18:53:50 +0000 Editors should submit a proposal for this to the WG for review 17566 2 virginia.smith 2007-11-02 00:55:34 +0000 The editors feel that the specification has evolved such that it is clear how SML references and schemes are resolved. In addition, 'resolved' is a well-known term and should be able to be applied to both references and schemes. The editors propose that this bug be marked as DONT FIX. This can be reconsidered if we receive feedback on this after LC. 17663 3 pratul.dublish 2007-11-12 04:18:28 +0000 The editors' proposal looks good - recommend resolving this bug as FIXED
