What classifies as a "compelling use-case" in your mind? -Mike Schinkel President; NewClarity LLC Organizer: Atlanta Web Entrepreneurs http://www.linkedin.com/in/mikeschinkel http://twitter.com/mikeschinkel http://mikeschinkel.com http://atlanta-web.org -----Original Message----- From: uri-request@w3.org [mailto:uri-request@w3.org] On Behalf Of Mark Nottingham Sent: Friday, October 31, 2008 6:38 PM To: Ian Hickson Cc: Jerome Louvel; whatwg@lists.whatwg.org; uri@w3.org; rest-discuss@yahoogroups.com Subject: Re: [whatwg] Proposing URI Templates for WebForms 2.0 +1, although I'd say it a bit differently. Doing it in script precludes unintended reuse, e.g., for accessibility, search engines, and so forth; it's not a good solution *if* there are compelling use cases for this, but we haven't seen those yet AFAIK.
