Re: DR 09-0286 — OPC: The syntax of "references"

[MURATA Makoto]

Chris,

Sorry for my belated reply.  This issue causes too much brain damage!

You think that Shawn's wording, which relies on Annex B, is fine.  But
9.1.1.1.1  Part IRI Syntax  and 9.1.1.1.2  Part URI Syntax have something
different from Annex B about the definition of part names.  Depending on
which we use as a basis, the answer becomes different.

Let me ask a question.  Which of the strings shown below is
allowed as a reference?

a.xml
./a.xml
/a.xml
/../a.xml
\a.xml
%a.xml
ц.xml
./ц.xml
%61.xml
%5Ca.xml
%25a.xml
%61.xml
%5C%2e/a.xml
%5C%41.xml
/%2541.xml
/%2e/%2e/a.xml
/%41/%61.xml
/%D1%86.xml
/./%D1%86.xml
/a/%D1%86.xm
\%2e/a.xml
\%41.xml

You may want to submit a separate DR requesting the broadening of these syntaxes - I'd be very interested to look at other possible solutions although I'd be keen for the existing URI schemes still to work, just in order to allow current IS 29500 documents to also be compatible with future IS 29500s.
