Was there a response from OASIS to the questions asked by Noah in: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-tag/2008Feb/0009.html ? (Sorry, I suppose I should be able to find it, but I'm not sure where to look. There's no "next in thread".) Thanks. --Ray ----- Original Message ----- From: "Williams, Stuart (HP Labs, Bristol)" <skw@hp.com> To: <www-tag@w3.org> Cc: "OASIS XRI TC" <xri@lists.oasis-open.org>; "Gabe Wachob" <gwachob@wachob.com> Sent: Wednesday, May 21, 2008 5:56 AM Subject: TAG recommends against XRI In The Architecture of the World Wide Web [1] the TAG sets out the reasons why http: URIs are the foundation of the value proposition for the Web, and should be used for naming on the Web. The TAG has reviewed XRIs twice, once in a previous draft [2] and more recently the XRI Resolution draft of [3] and on both occasions we raised a number of questions with the OASIS XRI TC [4], [5]. The TAG's work in this area is ongoing. For further information see ISSUE-50: URNsAndRegistries [6]. We are not satisfied that XRIs provide functionality not readily available from http: URIs. Accordingly the TAG recommends against taking the XRI specifications forward, or supporting the use of XRIs as identifiers in other specifications.
