proposed change to best-practices recipes for publihsing rdf vocabs

Hi Alistair,

Harry Halpin has reviewed cool-uris-for the semantic web and has 
proposed to merge the BestPractices you edit together with cool-uris.
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-sweo-ig/2008Mar/0097.html

We will not change cool-uris now, but I inform you about his ideas:

It was Harry Halpin who said at the right time 28.03.2008 18:39 the 
following words:
> 2) Overall the document is excellent explanation. It would be better
> also if it served as a bit of a primer, since after I've just been
> indoctrinated into giving URIs to things by using 303s, an eager
> developer might actually want to do this. Yet the example of how to
> modify an .htaccess file so 303 and conneg can be used is  in "Best
> Practice Recipes for Publishing RDF Vocabularies" [3].
>
> Yet the only reference of this *extremely useful* cut and paste sort of
> examples - precisely the kind needed by developers wanting to deploy
> 303s and conneg - is here  "The W3C's Semantic Web Best Practices and
> Deployment Working Group has published a document that describes how to
> implement the solutions presented here on the Apache Web server. The
> Best Practice Recipes for Publishing RDF Vocabularies
> <http://www.w3.org/TR/2006/WD-swbp-vocab-pub-20060314/> [Recipes
> <http://www.w3.org/TR/cooluris/#ref-Recipes>] mostly discuss the
> publication of /RDF vocabularies/, but the ideas can also be applied to
> other kinds of small RDF datasets that are published from static files."
> So, why not just either merge the documents? Or keep the "Cool URI"
> document as an explanation, and keep technical examples in the Best
> Practice Recipe Doc?
>
> To make this document useful as a primer, you either you need to provide
> working code (like .htaccess files) for your examples inline in the
> document or *clearly* tell the readers this sort of thing is in the
> "Best Practices" document.
>
> To make your life easier, I'd just move all the rather technical details
> in Sec 4.7 to the "Best Practice Recipes" in order to keep readers in
> line. And say, "If you're going to need help implementing content
> negotation and 303 redirection, please see the working examples for
> modifying your server in Best Practice Recipes for Publishing RDF
> Vocabularies <http://www.w3.org/TR/2006/WD-swbp-vocab-pub-20060314/>."
