Re: TAG minutes from 11th September 2008

I just want to clarify that when David boot and I refer to URI prefix  
we are defiantly not talking about the DNS sub-domain as indicated in  
the minutes.

A URI prefix must follow the chain of authority.
http://xri.*/*   is not following the DNS chain of authority and  
though used as an example in the current XRI spec,  it is not part of  
the proposal.

The booth+bradley proposal requires URI prefixes in the form:
http://*.xri/*    (if registering a new TLD)
http://*.xri.net/*  (if using the existing proxy domain)
http://thing-described-by.org  (if using David's thing described by  
sub-scheme)

I agree that the examples
>     [14] http://xri.*/*
>     [15] http://*/ark:*


Are not ideal and at least on the the XRI side we have moved beyond  
that.

Some discussion we have had regarding a way of doing "Dynamic booth 
+bradley" may work well with the existing ARK syntax.
That however is a separate topic.

John Bradley
