Hi all,

Would it be "incorrect" -- in terms of the "DocBook content model" -- to use URI's in 
the "fileref" attribute of <textdata/> ?

An example use case for this is the documentation of a DocBook customization: I wanted 
to add the source code of the customization layer into my output, and my first thought 
was, to specify the DTD's Public ID as "fileref" in <textdata/> to _automagically_ 
include it in the output:

<programlisting>
  <textobject>
    <textdata fileref="-//DSPFACTORY//DTD DocBook XInclude Module V1.0//EN"/>
  </textobject>
</programlisting>

However, the <insertfile/> extension element did not resolve this; and so I asked 
myself if I was about to mis-use resolving in a place were it was not right to use it 
[ it was a "fileref" and not a "href" ]
Any comments on this?

Note: 
I'm thinking about modifying the JAVA extension locally, using Norm's Catalog Resolver 
-- or the Stylesheet processor's own Resolver --, but on the other hand, it could be 
of general use, that URI's could be used in <textdata /> ... 
 
Regards,
Johann
