And I have said to the XML Catalog comitee that an URI Reference is
an URI-Reference and that having to distinguish arbitrarilly one done
from a DOCTYPE entry from one done from an xi:include href entry
doesn't make any sense to me, and that I would not support the distinction
in my software unless getting a meaningful reason to distinguish
those.
I haven't received any justification yet from the commitee about the
reason to distinguish those exept "they are different", no sorry ...
I see ZERO reason why the two following URI-Reference made from a
single XML entity should lead to using different resource for
http://example.com/foo.dtd:
-------------------------------
<DOCTYPE foo SYSTEM "http://example.com/foo.dtd>
<foo>
<xi:include href="http://example.com/foo.dtd" parse="text"/>
</foo>
-------------------------------
This distinction is extremely confusing, and so far can't be justified
I really don't see why it's there and the intended purpose.
