Mark, This Internet draft, which was posted last week, appears to be the text that you circulated in July. It is woefully innacurate and I strongly recommend that you withdraw it. In particular, almost every statement about the handle system is wrong. On July 16, Dan LaLiberte sent out an excellent message that (amongst other items) identified the major mistakes in you discussion of the handle system. The worst errors are as follows: " However, these servers are again both naming authorities and resolution services, with all the limitations that implies." This statement is wrong. "The handle syntax ..... sepcifies that the handles carry along with them sets of typed structured information, and corresponding administrative information." This statement totally confuses the handle as seen by the client, and the internal information that is stored within the servers. "The proposal also considers such issues as handle administration tols, access to services through firewalls, and cacheing of handles. While important, these issues are orthogonal to the construction of naming scheme frameworks, and should be left to other documents." Are you saying that implementation considerations have no place in an Internet draft? Bill Arms
