Hello, When reading section "B.1 Type Promotion" in the working draft of the 4th April,[1] one find the following note-paragraph: Since xs:anyURI values can be promoted to xs:string, functions and operators that compare strings using the default collation also compare xs:URI values using the default collation. This ensures that orderings that include strings, xs:URI values, or any combination of the two types are consistent and well-defined. Suggestively, is two data types referred to, "xs:URI" and "xs:anyURI". From what I know, there is no W3C XML Schema data type in the schema namespace named "URI", and I think "xs:URI" is a typo for "xs:anyURI". Now assuming it is a typo, I cannot tell how widespread this error is. Perhaps searching in appropriate documents, such as those which have been edited by the person who wrote the paragraph, would be a good idea. (Perhaps grepping for "xs:" and reviewing all data type names for typos would find more errors.) Cheers, Frans 1. http://www.w3.org/TR/2005/WD-xpath20-20050404/#promotion
Frans, Thanks for finding this typo. It has been corrected. Regards, Don Chamberlin
