I think std:in std:out std:err win on the cost basis ... one might want to define the std scheme as extensible by future revision, so that if the future suggests, for example, the use of file descriptors in URIs we might later get std:fd/23 (Much software would already, non-conformantly, assign file:stdin to the file named stdin in the current working directory) Jeremy Colin Paul Adams wrote: >>>>>> "Noah" == Noah Slater <nslater@bytesexual.org> writes: > > Noah> On Sat, Jan 12, 2008 at 06:36:50PM -0800, Tim Bray wrote: > >> Well, if you want to go near the notoriously-broken file: URI > >> spec, you're a braver man than I am. -T > > Noah> Okay, sure. :) > > Also, the "cost" of amending software that handles the file scheme is > surely much greater than introducing new schemes.
