RE: Comments on "The use of Metadata in URIs"

We've had lots of discussion about the audiences for the web arch document
and the findings.  It's not clear to us which audience is primary.  For
example, if it was item #1, we might adopt a much terser writing style
consisting mostly of "shoulds/musts/"etc.  We seem to be trying to appeal
equally to all 3.  There is a style of making the findings more descriptive
and the web arch document more compact.
