The current draft of ISO/IEC 13250, Topic Navigation Maps (a standard architectural form) explicitly takes Steven Newcomb's view of the meaning of owner identifiers in FPIs: scarcely surprising, since he is one of the editors. In particular, clasue 6.1.1 reads in part: # [T]he registration indicator, public text class, and language fields # are as specified for formal public identifiers in ISO/IEC 8879:1986. # The 'topic authority' [the string after the "+//" or "-//"] is # the owner of <em>the information resource</em> that defines the # concept. [Emphasis added.] SGML tribal elders (a set which I am not a member of) may wish to protest this language and similar language elsewhere in the draft before it becomes hard-coded in an ISO standard. -- John Cowan http://www.ccil.org/~cowan cowan@c...
