Joe, Although the design considerations were somewhat different, there is enough overlap that you'll find it useful to take a look at our S-Link-S specification.: http://www.openly.com/slinks/SLinkS.html We currently maintain a library of about 2000 of these, for use in bibliographic linking to electronic resources. Originally our motivation was similar to yours- that information providers would want to publish information about how to liink to the web sites. That never happened. Instead, we had to go out and characterize thousands of sites. I would estimate that the subset of these that could be fully handled with the amount of expressiveness available in the current version of URI-Templates is between 5 and 10% of the total.
