If you think that identifiers with another structure would be good I'm just as happy but we need the Director's approval. OK, so http://www.w3.org/ns/html-track-kind/<a valid value of the kind attribute for an HTML track element> would be entirely fine. Maybe the last / should be # ? http://www.w3.org/ns/html-track-kind#<a valid value of the kind attribute for an HTML track element> or don’t namespaces use #’s? > > The policy on URL naming assignment between specs is here: > > http://www.w3.org/2005/07/13-nsuri cool. I think that kinds are not year or spec-version-specific, and likely to stay stable. Could this be part of the HTML spec.? “When a self-identifying HTML kind value is needed in a context outside HTML, the form http://www.w3.org/ns/html-track-kind/<a valid value of the kind attribute for an HTML track element> may be used.” ?? > > -- > Robin Berjon - http://berjon.com/ - @robinberjon David Singer Manager, Software Standards, Apple Inc.
