Re: Using "Punning" to Answer httpRange-14

i think Jeni's proposal is valid, and 303s and hash uri rule are not.

that was also my second thought.

no. if a vocabulary has not already thought about which one of the 4
options a certain property means, then it was broken. we should just
indicate what the correct interpretation is for the properties we
already use, and add new once if needed.

IF for any given vocabulary this process involves "rethinking" as you
say, then that vocabulary was broken! Not rethinking a broken
vocabulary is an option, and probably many vocabularies will choose
that option for a long time, but the ones that are really being used
will /want/ to rethink "when i say 'license', what do i mean?" if they
have not already done so.

you could make a common practice to prefix properties, so you get
"license" to mean subject-sense, object-contents, and e.g.
"doc-license" to mean subject-contents, object-contents. my unfinished
proposal for Hungarian rel names (see other thread on this list) is
very much related to that.

Let's just name our variable right, and then there is no problem.

For me, Jeni's blogpost closes the http range 14 discussion, and moves
it into each vocabulary, where naming is probably easier to get right.
