Whether URAs meet the scripting needs of the UR architecture is hard to say. The current I-D on URAs is less than illuminating, so I hope Leslie will revise it as soon as she can. I suggest the URI-WG not close off discussion in this area just yet. Before I write off URAs as no more than tarted-up URLs, I would want to see the revised I-D,a demo of the software, and have a chance to ask Leslie questions. (Leslie, can you demo the system to us at Stockholm?) An ugly question - if we decide that the UR architecture can benefit from a scripting capability, shouldn't we have a requirements document before we have a specification? -- Ron Daniel Jr. email: rdaniel@lanl.gov Advanced Computing Lab voice: (505) 665 0597 MS B287 fax: (505) 665 4939 Los Alamos National Laboratory http://www.acl.lanl.gov/~rdaniel/ Los Alamos, NM 87545 tautology:"Conformity is very popular"
