[1] The guidelines and procedures of that process seem to form a handy general checklist for minting URI schemes and should be capable of catching idiosyncrasies such as this. Perhaps we should get the widget URI proposal peer reviewed by the W3C URI IG [2] and, perhaps, the IETF HTTP WG [3] before publication also. I mention this since you mention the blob URI scheme. That has recently been making the rounds on both of the listservs mentioned above resulting in some interesting discussions. - Rich [1] http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4395 [2] http://www.w3.org/2001/12/URI/ [3] http://datatracker.ietf.org/wg/httpbis/charter/ > > > -- > Marcos Caceres > http://datadriven.com.au > >
