Last Call: CURIE Syntax 1.0
The XHTML2 Working Group has published the Last Call Working Draft
of "CURIE Syntax 1.0," which outlines a syntax for expressing URIs
in a generic, abbreviated syntax ("Compact URI"). The specification
targets language designers who need a mechanism to permit the use of
extensible value collections. Any language designer considering the
use of QNames in attribute values should consider instead using
CURIEs, since CURIEs are designed for this purpose, while QNames are
not. Comments are welcome through 10 June. Learn more about the HTML
Activity.
