- "On the web" is not defined in this document. I would think that we would want to define what "on the web" means for V1 of the Web architecture. My stab <shields mode="up">"On the Web means that a URI may be dereferenced without the input of a representation, typically a GET retrieval. Being on the Web versus not on the Web is a trade-off in properties achieved and is not be default a "bad" thing. Some Web resources necessarily must be off the Web, such as HTML FORM POST results." </shields> Section 3. Representation This section should contain a definition of a "message", and explain the relationship between message, representation, representation metadata, and other metadata. "message" is mentioned in bullet 2. I believe the last sentence in the 2nd bullet is slightly incorrect. "When transferred by a Web protocol, a representation often includes metadata about both the representation and the message bearing the representation (for example, some HTTP headers). " -> "When transferred by a Web protocol, a message often includes metadata about any contained representation and the message itself (for example, some HTTP headers). ". representations don't include message metadata, the messages include the message metadata. A diagram would be really good for this, ie: Message is: +----------------+ |+--------------+| ||metadata || |+--------------+| |+--------------+| ||representation|| |+--------------+| +----------------+ 3.3.2 "Authors and applications can use URIs uniformly to identify different resources on the Web" -> "Authors and applications can use URIs uniformly to identify different resources". 3.3.3 "The simplest way to achieve this is for the namespace name to be an HTTP URI which may be dereferenced to access this material. The resource identified by such a URI is called a "namespace document." -> "The simplest way to achieve this is to provide a resource, called a "namespace document", that is identified by a dereferencable URI."
