RFC 3987 says (section 1.2 Applicability):
For example, XML schema [XMLSchema] has an explicit type
"anyURI" that includes IRIs and IRI references. Therefore, IRIs
and IRI references can be in attributes and elements of type
"anyURI".
So, actually, it seems that the Atom RNC could say "atomUri = xs:anyURI".
...or RFC 3987 is wrong... (I didn't check XMLSchema to try to figure
it out myself)
