@mcc @whitequark Yeah there was the whole thing that they were URNs rather than URLs and so they couldn't be reliably used as a resource locator, so it was only some companies actually made them resolvable to an Xschema, which could be useful. You would have all the relevant schemas pre-loaded tho, usually, so you wouldn't be doing downloads. (I was doing W3C standards back then - but memory may be wonky)
