Re: feature negotiation syntax

Feature tags should not be names. It is just this kind of
discussion that makes me oppose their use in PEP and content
negotiation, despite their otherwise appeal as a quick-to-deploy
registration space.

I'd rather see feature tags just be FQDNs; anyone who
has enough omph to want to deploy a feature tag can
just get a subdomain, e.g.,

     fancy-tables.feature.netscape.com

and then we have no need for the %NN discussion.
