Re: Fwd: testable properties of repositories that could be used to rate them

The initial aim of this was to counter an apparently arbitrary 
repository ranking algorithm (which I won't deign link to) with a set of 
web standards that we (repository developers and maintainers) can 
collectively work towards, with an emphasis on breadth of different 
standards that could be applied.

I've greyed out the 'everything' requirement, since I'm not sure that 
'everything' is script-testable.

I've grey'ed out the content negotiation requirements since I'm not 
aware that any repositories or prototypes that try and do this (I'm 
happy to be corrected).

I've found a better URL for the RDFa requirement.
