It's better to pick a mime type for transmission of attributes and put all of the attributes in it. For some thoughts on what that format should be, here are some references (do a search on "Uniform Resource Characteristic*" in your favorite Internet search tool). Ron Daniel's history http://www.acl.lanl.gov/URC/ Note that there were plans to (re)charter a URC working gorup in IETF, but they never got off the ground. See http://www.acl.lanl.gov/URC/charter8 . http://www.ferberts.com/uridocs.htm has a lot of useful pointers Specification of Uniform Resource Characteristics http://www.acl.lanl.gov/URI/urc_draft.txt Uniform Resource Agents (URAs) RFC 2016 ftp://ds.internic.net/rfc/rfc2016.txt
