When checking the references to RFC 2396 in XQuery 1.0 and XPath 2.0, I discovered that the RFC is in the Normative References [1] but is NEVER referenced from within the document. I wonder if the reference should have been removed when the references were migrated to refer to RFC 3986? BTW I could not find this possible error in the XQuery errata document [2]. /paulc [1] http://www.w3.org/TR/2007/REC-xquery-20070123/#id-normative-references [2] http://www.w3.org/XML/2007/qt-errata/xquery-errata.html Paul Cotton, Microsoft Canada 17 Eleanor Drive, Ottawa, Ontario K2E 6A3 Tel: (425) 705-9596 Fax: (425) 936-7329
Paul, You are right. The reference to RFC2396 has been obsoleted by the reference to RFC3986. On 4 March 2008 the joint Query/XSL working groups agreed to remove the obsolete reference. This change will be reflected in a future erratum. Since this is an editorial change and the working group agreed with your suggestion, I am marking this bug report as Closed.
