> What's wrong with the current system of URI mapping: > > http://www.isi.edu/in-notes/iana/assignments/ > IANA makes no guarantees that its web site will not change substantially in organization. Our examination of the current IANA web site is that the organizations of URIs is informal and not intended for automatic processing. There is no guarantee that "www.isi.edu" will continue to be the authority for IANA. > Also, what's the point of making URIs into content types? Where would this > be used? I'm not sure what requirement Don Eastlake was looking at; the problem that got the rest of us going was the proposal that CCPP (http://www.w3.org/Mobile/CCPP/) use URIs to identify media features and similar elements.
