## Restrictions on URI content

The URI content of the xlink:href attribute, the xsi:schemaLocation attribute and the schemaLocation attribute, must be relative and contain no forward slashes, or a recognized external location of a standard taxonomy schema file, or a "#" followed by a shorthand xpointer. The xlink:href attribute must appear on the link:loc element; the schemaLocation attribute must appear on the xsd:import element, and the xsi:schemaLocation attribute must appear on the link:linkbase element and may appear on the xbrli:xbrl element.

Valid entries for the xlink:href attribute, the xsi:schemaLocation attribute and the schemaLocation attribute are document locations. If they are relative URIs, they are subject to EDGAR attachment naming conventions. Therefore, all documents attached to the submission will be at the same level of folder hierarchy. By restricting the content of these attributes, all documents in the DTS of an instance will be either a standard taxonomy or present in the submission.

Examples:

- xlink:href="abccorp-20100123.xsd"
- <xsd:import schemaLocation="http://xbrl.org/2006/xbrldi-2006.xsd" namespace="..."/>

Counterexamples:

- xlink:href="http://www.example.com/2007/example.xsd"
- xlink:href="#element(1/4)" (Comment: this is a scheme-based xpointer, not shorthand)

REMARK: xml:base is forbidden.

REMARK: RFC 2396 defines URI syntax
