Sorry, but I never said that it would be incorrect to use
xsd:anyURI. I personally think that it should be okay to
use xsd:anyURI. The differences are microscopic, and they should
become even smaller, or hopefully go away completely, over time.
It does not make sense to perpetuate minor differences for
something that was and is supposed to be one and the same
thing.
Regards, Martin.
