<font size=3D3>I have assumed that  'client-error-bad-request' is the
correct response for 
an unknown or unsupported attribute with 'uri' syntax .  Though I
think that 
we should make 'client-error-bad-request'  be the response for a
document-uri that is too long as well because a length error is a low
level 
error which is likely to be detected out of the context of a particular
attribute.  So I see no value in making a special exception for one
attribute's length error.
