Sure, despite the fact that 'user address' has the word address in it,
it's not an attempt to reinvent the URI or the URL. Rather, it is
based on both URIs and URLs. Also, "under the hood" it's based 100% on
linked data and follow-your-nose.

no worries! :) i know i sometimes say things that provoke discussion,
it's a natural process as far as i'm concerned.

i think we should take the good parts from what the w3c produces, add
the good parts of what ietf, other bodies, and also the various
grassroots mailing lists produce, put it all together in a generous
way, and (as Eran said in the blog post you referred to), if we really
believe in 'rough consensus and running code', then maybe github (and
similar code-hosting sites) should be where open web technology is
developed. Putting some code on github is all i did here. And since
it's "polyglot", we can easily adapt it to multiple syntaxes, whether
they are w3c-approved or ietf-approved or not approved at all.

Regardless of the syntax, 'follow-your-nose' and URIs/URLs are always
the basis. Whether you publish rdf-over-http or xrd-over-http, we can
still all be friends. :)



Cheers,
Michiel
