    Sorry that I could not make the meeting today.  Hassles all around. Still, I 100% concur with Alessandro's comment. All references should be in URI format. 
     
    Respectfully,

    Thanks for the clarification Alessandro,
    
    I don't know why that formulation was chosen, especially since I
    prefer the formulation you mention in parentheses. However, the HTTP
    scheme was not, as far as I know or recall, an intended use, though I
    would say now that it should be because developers will almost
    undoubtedly be using XMLHttpRequest objects in Ajax for asynchronous
    requests and responses whether we allow for it or not.
    
    So we may want to do this when we submit EDXL-RM for its second
    60-day Public Review. We can resolve these issues together, since
    they are not confined to geo-oasis, and I want to make sure that we
    can have Gary Ham on board when we do that, and possibly reach out to
    Karen Robinson to see if she can join us, too, for these schema
    decisions.
    
    Cheers,
    Rex

    Yes, I meant URN. And we must comply with the OASIS rules.
