RE: Feature names: Typo in example

Hi Marcos,

Thanks.
Your proposal is generally ok me, feature name is just IRI.
I have, however, 2 arguments to change your proposal a bit:
1. "API:" may be misunderstood, so let's use e.g. "http:" or "ftp:" or anything else what is universally known (and hierarchical at the same time) now.
2. To satisfy the comments from Christian, I would add at least one slash in the IRI, e.g.
"http://example.org/geolocation"
As you know in BONDI (just informatively now) we went further and the query part of the IRI is used for versioning of the APIs as in http://bondi.omtp.org/1.0/apis/BONDI_Interface_Patterns_v1.0.html#versioning.
I do not want to discuss versioning here, but I just would like to vote for a slash in the IRI example, to show that IRI is more powerful than just to be used as a string (I mean hierarchy etc. and slash may just help here).

What do you think?

Thanks.

Kind regards,
Marcin

That is not an error; it's on purpose. It's just showing that it's just
a URI that can be structured in any way so long as it is valid. It also
deliberately non-conforming to the stylistic decisions of BONDI. It's
just an example. If anything, I should change the example to:

<feature name="API:example.org.geolocation"
              required="false"/>
