Noah, TAG members, The Web Services Addressing Working Group has considered your request to add some advisory text about the use of EPRs originally at: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-ws-addressing-comments/2005Oct/0004 This request is known in our issues list as CR issue cr10: http://www.w3.org/2002/ws/addr/cr-issues/#cr10 The Working Group has decided to incorporate the following text in the specification, based on your original proposal: The Architecture of the World Wide Web, Volume One [AoWWW] recommends [Section 2 of AoWWW] the use of URIs to identify resources. Using abstract properties of an EPR other than [destination] to identify resources is contrary to this recommendation. In certain circumstances, such a use of additional properties may be convenient or beneficial; however, when building systems, the benefits or convenience of identifying a resource using reference parameters should be carefully weighed against the benefits of identifying a resource solely by URI as explained in [Section 2.1] of the Web Architecture. We hope that this satisfies your comment. As we are making good progress towards getting out of CR, we would appreciate if we could hear back from you within the next couple of weeks if this wasn't the case.
