I'm trying to get up to speed on all the UR* drafts and such for Memphis. Some of this stuff is pretty exciting (NAPTR and RRs and all that) but some of it is confusing. First of all, what's the relationship between mailing lists and charters? urn-ietf@bunyip.com -> http://www.ietf.org/html.charters/urn-charter.html uri@bunyip.com --> ??? (defunct URI WG; anything else?) ietf-url@imc.org ??? (new URL syntax/process WG? Is this a real WG? It's not listed at: http://www.ietf.org/html.charters/wg-dir.html) Now... about this document: Patrik Faltstrom wrote: > draft-ietf-urn-nid-req-01.txt > Namespace Identifier Requirements for URN Services > Introduction: > ============= > > The Uniform Resource Name (URN) Working Group has defined mechanisms > for both the syntax [4] and resolution of URNs [1,2].

Making new NIDs seems exactly analagous to the process of making new URL schemes. Compare with: ------------ http://www.imc.org/draft-masinter-url-process This document provides guidelines for the definition of new URL schemes and describes the process by which they are registered. ------------ Is it really necessary/useful to go through this exercise twice? -- Dan Connolly, W3C Architecture Domain Lead <connolly@w3.org> +1 512 310-2971 http://www.w3.org/People/Connolly/ PGP:EDF8 A8E4 F3BB 0F3C FD1B 7BE0 716C FF21
