I've seen this occur to many times. It seems that the term 'resource' is to popular for its own good. My current suggestion for people who are struggling with this is to define their own term that is 110% application dependent and then be extremely specfic about how you can use a URI as a value for that term. Defining your application to use URIs simply as 2396 specified sans anything else is to simple. It would be kind of like saying that LDAP uses OIDs but never specifying how it used them or why. -MM -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---- Michael Mealling | Vote Libertarian! | www.rwhois.net/michael Sr. Research Engineer | www.ga.lp.org/gwinnett | ICQ#: 14198821 Network Solutions | www.lp.org | michaelm@netsol.com
