Jeni, Ian, Leigh, Nick, Hugh, Steve, Masahide, Gregg, Niklas, Jerry, Dave, Bill, Andy, John, Ben, Damian, Thomas, Ed Summers and Davy, I have drafted what I think may represent a middle ground change proposal and I am wondering if something along this line would also meet your concerns: http://www.w3.org/wiki/UriDefinitionDiscoveryProtocol Highlights of this proposal: - It enables a URI owner to unambiguously convey any URI definition to an interested client. - It does not constrain whether or how a client will use that or any other URI definition, as that is the client's business. - It retains the existing httpRange-14 rule. - It also permits the use of an HTTP 200 response with RDF content as a means of conveying a URI definition. - It provides guidelines for avoiding confusion and inconsistencies, while acknowledging the burden those guidelines place on URI owners. - It encourages URI owners to publish URI definitions even if those URI definitions are not perfect. It also includes numerous other clarifications. Would something along these lines also meet your concerns? -- David Booth, Ph.D. http://dbooth.org/ Opinions expressed herein are those of the author and do not necessarily reflect those of his employer.
