Yes, I had gotten there from the libscf man page.  But the matrix of 
types is a little confusing.  I wasn't certain that uri was really the 
right thing.  It would be nice if this documentation was in the dtd 
itself instead of a random library function man page.

Especially since, in my case, I never would have though to look at man 
pags for c libraries I'm not using -- I only thought of libscf because 
of a past recommendation.

Thanks for the response!
