I don't think Michael would feel slighted by my saying that the path scheme was mostly my design. It wouldn't have been completed and implemented so quickly without him, however. So 'co-creator' is more correct. > 3.

Host would not necessarily apply for a URN. What would the document server do with the URN info anyway? It should probably know the URN already. Multiple URNs might map to the same document, but the same document should result either way. The client should preserve the original un-translated request, and proxies may want to do so too, but I'm not sure the document server needs it. > I would prefer to go with Larry Masinter suggestion of > > > Just requiring: > > > GET http://foo.bar.com/home/is/where/the/wallet/is.html HTTP/1.1 Me too. dan
