Subject: Notation system ID From: Frank Christoph <christo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Wed, 27 Aug 1997 15:14:51 +0900 |
I know what a notation is and I know what a system ID is. What is a notation system ID, exactly? More specifically, what is the appropriate thing to supply as a value for the external-graphic flow object's notation-system-id: property for a TIFF image? Is it supposed to be a program that turns a TIFF image into whatever format the backend produces? Incidentally, since we are on the subject of IDs, where does one learn the _public_ IDs of things (like TIFF, for example)? I seem to recall a seeing mention of a standard that lists such things, but is there an alternative resource? (If not, a list of common public IDs --- for SGML, TIFF, GIF, TeX, etc. --- would be a useful addition to the DSSSL Handbook.) I suppose not, since the registration needs to be centralized... sometimes I think it would be much better to work out some sort of system using public key encryption to decentralize registration mechanisms for URLs, domain names and the like. <sigh> -- Frank Christoph Next Solution Co.
