       I agree.  Now that we have working resource URLs, let's drop the 
    working 
       resource id.
    
       Did I hear you say revision id as well ?<g>
    
    <geoff>
    Well, why not?  If you have a server-generated URL that identifies
    a revision, why have a separate server-generated id that identifies
    that revision as well?
    
    If a server wishes to automatically generate a short label
    (e.g. "1", "2", "2.1") that a user can use in a Target-Selector,
    then it can do so, but I see no reason to require it in the
    protocol (we can't standardize the form of that id in any case).

    <tim/> Agreed, it seemed like a logical inference to me.
