We can "I want this" and "I want that" forever. Lacking any real consensus or concerted desire for significant change, I withdraw my suggestions for such and fully support advancement of the file: URI draft in broadly its current form. Let us get something published, and maybe the rest can follow? Maybe as a supplementary informational document? ... Taking note of Larry's response, what I'm suggesting here is a 2-stage process: 1. Get the current document published as documentation of (the varieties of) current practice, and 2. Work on a new document that makes recommendations for best practice. As a cheerleader for this discussion I feel I should commit to some effort towards these goals, but at this time I'm unable to do so. It's a variation "the spirit is willing but the flesh is weak". But maybe things will change. #g ------------ Graham Klyne For email: http://www.ninebynine.org/#Contact
