[snip] For the sake of all our inboxes, can this lengthy discussion be turned into discussion of proposed text for a WebID specification? For example, who can live with: "A WebID is a URI (IRI, technically). Although the basic operation of the protocol is applicable to any URI scheme for which there is some practical notion of 'de-reference'[1], initial implementors have found most interoperability through using the common http and https schemes." I don't particular care for this text. But I care to see people arguing productively, and that's more likely when we keep our eyes on the prize... I suggest an analogy with HTML's <img> tag; somehow the market settles on conventions for what to point to, without the spec having to dictate particular versions of particular allowed formats. cheers, Dan issue: http://www.w3.org/2005/Incubator/webid/track/issues/55 [1] http://www.w3.org/TR/webarch/#dereference-uri
