    Subject: Note from Japanese SC34 member body regarding ISO DIS26300
    








    I was forwarded this note with a request to forward
to the TC.  I was told that Murata-san had sent this note to OASIS
earlier, but had received no response.  (I don't know whom it was
sent to originally).

    From: "MURATA Makoto (FAMILY Given)" <EB2M-MRT@asahi-net.or.jp>
    Subject: Comments to DIS26300

    I am writing this mail on behalf of the Japanese SC34
member body.

    
We would like to approve DIS 26300 and recommend Japan to endorse it
    
as a JIS standard.  However, we are deeply concerned about the use
of
    
the word "URI" rather than "IRI".

    
It has been unclear whether URIs allow non-ASCII characters.  However,
    
with the recent advent of RFC 3986 and RFC 3987, it is now clear that
    
URIs do not allow non-ASCII characters and that IRIs do.  W3C XML
Core
    
WG and W3C XML Schema WG are already planning to publish errata for
    
incorporating IRIs to XML specifications such as XML, XLink, W3C XML
    
Schema, and so forth.  Such errata do not require endorsement from
W3C
    
members.

    
The datatype "anyURI" of W3C XML Schema, which appears in ODF
schemas,
    
already allows non-ASCII characters.  Thus, we believe that the change
    
from "URI" to "IRI" in DIS 26300 is a simple editorial
change.

    
If OASIS is willing to incorporate this editorial change, we are happy
    
to approve the DIS and recommend Japan to publish it as a Japanese
    
Industrial standard.  If not, we are forced to make a very difficult
    
decision.

    
The JTC1 procedure for PAS submission requies that the comment
    
disposition meeting be held two months after the six month ballot is
    
closed.  The project editor is required to prepare a proposed
    
disposition document prior to the comment disposition meeting.  At
the
    
same time, OASIS can start an OASIS ballot, if it is deemed absolutely
    
necessary.
