Re: [docbook] URN for Simplified DocBook and DocBook XML

OK. What I meant to say is more precisely worded as:


System identifier should be always resolvable in my opinion, and this can't be guaranteed with URN.

So you can use URN as system identifier per XML specification. But you can also create HTML page containing single large Flash animation and this page can validate. What I wanna to say is that not everything what is permitted in standard is also recognized as a good usage. This even harder because good usage is usually evolving in time. If there will be some commonly deployed service able to translate URN to URL I will be first who will recommend you to move from URLs to URNs :-)
