The spec is silent about the case where the value of sml:uri is an empty string. I think, this points to the root element of the document that contains the reference. This would be consistent with RFC 3986 (section 4.4 Same-document Reference). In other words, all of the refs below point to the same target. a.xml ----- <x:root xmlns:sml="http://www.w3.org/2008/03/sml" xmlns:x="urn:x"> <x:ref sml:ref="true"> <sml:uri>a.xml</sml:uri> </x:ref> <x:ref sml:ref="true"> <sml:uri>a.xml#smlxpath1(/x:root)</sml:uri> </x:ref> <x:ref sml:ref="true"> <sml:uri>#smlxpath1(/x:root)</sml:uri> </x:ref> <x:ref sml:ref="true"> <sml:uri></sml:uri> </x:ref> </x:root> Proposal: Update section 4.3.1 SML URI Reference Scheme in the SML spec and section 5.3.4 URI Reference Processing bullet 1.a appropriately to clarify the case mentioned above. 20241 1 pratul.dublish 2008-05-22 19:39:45 +0000 Discussed in 5/22 call Kumar to update the bug with a new proposal 20377 2 kumarp 2008-06-05 06:53:03 +0000 Proposal: [1] Add the following non-normative note after 2.b in 4.3.1 SML URI Reference Scheme Note: If the relative reference is an empty string or if it consists of only a fragment component then step 2.b is skipped because the document containing the SML reference is the target document. [2] Change 1.a in section 5.3.4 URI Reference Processing: From: If UR contains only a fragment component, then D is the model document that contains UR. To: If UR is an empty string or if it contains only a fragment component, then D is the model document that contains UR. 20439 3 sandygao 2008-06-12 20:14:01 +0000 The WG discussed this issue at its 2008-06-12 telecon. A few observations about the first change suggested in comment #2: 1. When the original reference is empty or only has fragment component, then both 2.a and 2.b should be affected. 2. It's not clear that the suggested note (non-normative) is a consequence of normative statements. There may need to be more changes to achieve the desired effect. 3. The actual wording changes for this bug may depend on the resolution of bug 5542. 20764 4 johnarwe 2008-06-24 09:26:33 +0000 (f2f consensus) SML 4.3.1 2 b replacement A document is obtained by one of the following methods. (2.b.1) by recognizing that the relative reference is a same-document reference (2.b.2) by dereferencing the URI reference ignoring any fragment component, using the appropriate operation defined for the URI scheme used in that URI reference. If a document in the current model does not result, the SML URI Reference Scheme instance is unresolved.
