Dear list,
I just found this old thread because I was looking for a solution to a
similar problem: I would like to indicate both the type of an identifier
in <idno>, as well as a preferred resolver for the identifier. I was
thinking of something like
<idno type="GND" xml:base="http://d-nb.info/gnd/">118575449</idno>
but I'm not sure whether that conforms to the definition of @xml:base
("provides a base URI reference with which applications can resolve
relative URI references into absolute URI references"). The idea of
@xml:base seems to be that it applies to attribute values of the
data.pointer type only. What do you all think?
On a related note, does anyone else feel that the Guidelines example
<idno type="DOI">http://dx.doi.org/10.1000/123</idno>
is misleading? After all, "http://dx.doi.org/" is the resolver URL, not
part of the DOI proper.

If I am right, then I am almost tempted to say that <list> needs a different attribute to distinguish ordered, unordered and gloss, because this is such a common, and important, bit of information.
