I support the set of URI requirements developed by Warner. I understand
Gomer's
impatience in arriving at a solution that will meet his specific needs;
however, this
is a standards activity that needs to take a larger set of requirements
into account.
Suggesting that this will take months or years to resolve seems an
exaggeration.
Let's find a reasonable solution that satisfies the highest priority
requirements and
has sufficient extensibility to permit resolving lesser priority
requirements. A staged
approach may be warranted.
