Mark asked me to re-raise my concern on the list: The leading dot seems like it will cause confusion for Unix newbies. For example, users could create the directory in public-html and watch it "disappear". -well-known would not have that problem. Or "web-well-known". Also: B.1. Aren't well-known locations bad for the Web? They are, but for various reasons -- both technical and social -- they are commonly used, and their use is increasing. This memo defines a "sandbox" for them, to reduce the risks of collision and to minimise the impact upon pre-existing URIs on sites. I'd suggest that if the authors think that well-known locations are a bad thing then they should point potential implementers towards the better thing.
