Thanks George,

It looks like rnv obeys the spirit of the spec "Note: Spaces are, in
principle, allowed in the ·lexical space· of anyURI, however, their
use is highly discouraged (unless they are encoded by %20)" and yells
if there are spaces in the URI, but jing obeys the letter (which I
think is the only sensible thing to do). It was spaces in an
xsd:anyUri-typed attribute that were setting off the validation errors
in rnv.

Libxml2 (fronted by xmllint), on the other hand, throws up on its
shoes (complaining about invalid values in a different attribute that
are completely bogus), which is disappointing.

I was getting a bit worried by having three different validators tell
me three different things. Thanks for the clarification.

Best,
Hugh
