I think standardizing the naming conventions is not necessarily the critical path, it is the "level of indirection" to "find" particular resources that needs to be defined, enabled, or standardized. If you can query the URI for what resources it contains (IE if it is an XML data structure in itself -- ie a sub DOM) -- the level of indirection that is needed can be built. If an author can say, in essence, to the cache or streaming resource -- so do you have pictureX available for display? Is it coming soon? What pictures do you have, and which are available to be subscribed to? Then an author can work with this. If the author can say -- so what channels are available on this streaming resource -- give me a text based list so I can present it to the user so they can select one -- then this could work.
