Changes

The XRI Syntax was developed based on RFC 3986 Uniform Resource Identifiers (URIs)], which provides a simple and extensible way for identifying a resource and RFC 3987  IRIs (Internationalized Resource Identifiers), a protocol with a sequence of characters from the Unicode/ISO 10646. XRI is capable of including characters beyond what is used by the generic [[URI]] and incorporates the simplification and enhancements of the URI syntax. <ref>[http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/download.php/5109/xri-syntax-resolution-1.0-cd.pdf Extensible Resource Identifier (XRI) Generic Syntax and Resolution Specification, Committee Draft, January 12, 2004]</ref>  The OASIS XRI Technical Committee explained that just like the generic URI, the XRI syntax, it has four optional components with the scheme name xri: For example: xri: authority  / path  ? query  # fragment. The HTTP URIs which uses the generic URI syntax can be changed to a valid XRI by simply changing an http URI to XRI just like this, '''xri://www.example.com/pages/index.html''' (standard HTTP URI converted to XRI).<ref>[http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/download.php/5109/xri-syntax-resolution-1.0-cd.pdf Generic Syntax]</ref>
