Here at the Image Collections and Fieldwork Archives (ICFA) at Dumbarton Oaks (http://www.doaks.org/library-archives/icfa) we are using the ICA-AtoM CMS (https://www.ica-atom.org) to produce EAD XML finding aids, which we plan to share with Harvard's union catalog for finding aids. 

In reviewing these export files, I just noted that our exports include the source note for each subject term in the @source attribute; our source notes are typically links (developed on the principles of linked, open data). It appears that this is problematic as the files aren't validating with HTML in that attribute. Would @authfilenumber be a better choice for these URL's, as it looks like they can accept CDATA? Does anyone know what the NMTOKEN values are for @source?

Thank you,
