I'm unconvinced of the value of the proposed new. Blocking Authority. 1. While it makes sense to identify the Blocking Entity with a URI - presumably it has an online presence - the nature of the Blocking Authority could be any of multiple levels of government or a trade association or the operator of a building complex or almost any other imaginable entity. I think that this is best described in textual human-readable form so as to be actually useful to the party whose access is being blocked. 7725 already provides a place to put this information and illustrates it with an (admittedly whimsical) example. 2. I haven't seen much in the way of evidence to suggest that this would be adopted if it were specified. Maybe I just missed it? Geographical Scope of Block 1. I don't think country codes are going to do it, given that this could be done at the regional or municipal level, or the scope might be expressed by geofencing. 2. Same as before - what evidence do we have that this would be adopted were it provided?
