Hi Stan, I would take a look at the info: URI scheme. It seems like a good fit to me - a URI scheme for identifiers that don't necessarily resolve to anything and aren't tied back to the domain of your company (and therefore your control). A registry of sub-namespaces under the info: URI scheme is here: http://info-uri.info Cheers, Sean On Sep 18, 2006, at 9:16 PM, Stan James wrote: > > Hi, > > My company (www.lijit.com) allows people to enter comments about > URI's.
