Can you explain > what are the precise semantics of that in your view? Fair question! I mean information which could be considered part of the identifier. And by "identifier", I mean, in practice, a token which can be used repeatedly to refer to the same "thing". One could certainly make the claim that RefParams are themselves an identifier, and I think they'd be right. But what they identify is orthogonal from what the URI+RefProps identify, which is the endpoint; they identify some chunk of shared contextual state. Mark. -- Mark Baker.
