The use of this term in the spec is pretty old. I think the authors were trying to communicate that the RP ID (which doesn't have to be related to the origin) is a domain name, and they fished around for a more formal term to use, and picked this from the URL spec. I think if we just said that it was a string, then we would be failing to communicate an important point. The RP ID isn't a URL and doesn't have a scheme, it's just a domain name. We could say that it's a "domain name", and not link to anything, which doesn't seem great? As is, I'm not sure what change would be in a positive direction here. -- GitHub Notification of comment by agl Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/webauthn/issues/2206#issuecomment-2489377156 using your GitHub account -- Sent via github-notify-ml as configured in https://github.com/w3c/github-notify-ml-config
