Hi Dave,
Thanks!
It looks a lot more elegant with "#", and still very simple.
About the CNS, I think there was always an expectation that it would
soon become a real service, so we just wanted to start with a simple
file that was easy to type. At that time there was an attempt to
specify a more powerful service which would be based on ebXML, but as
far as I know it was never implemented. So the original format which
was supposed to be temporary remained until now.
I agree that using XML/RDF would be better, but I still think that
sooner or later we will need a real service. TapirLink already needs
something that maps equivalent concepts from different schemas.
Best Regards,
