RE: i0001: EPRs as identifiers - alternative proposal

Hi Paul,

I am trying to say (with limited success it seems) that EPRs are service
endpoint addresses, and that it is often the case that from the address the
identifier may be inferred. That does not make the address an identifier. I
believe that we are agreeing here, unless I am missing something.

BTW, "Come alone" is a great example embedded policy :-)

Seems to me you're saying that an EPR isn't an identifier,
or an even an address from which identity might be inferred.

It's a set of directions: put the message in the waste
paper basket by the most southerly entrance in Hyde park.
Come alone.
