For anyone who is joining this thread late, here's a summary: Several people have put forth a draft RFC (draft-zigmond-tv-url-02) which talks about standardizing existing practice in three areas: tv: tv:<number> tv:<name> This draft is in the form of an INFORMATIONAL RFC. As far as I can tell, there are no real technical issues with this document although there are some procedural issues. Some people have questioned the use of the "tv:<name>" form. To the extent that the draft is reflecting existing implementations, the point is moot. (Unless we get volunteers to retrofit existing systems...I thought not.) However, there was a substantial amount of discussion in this area last winter which ended up with a draft (draft-finseth-btv-00.txt) that is on the STANDARDS track.[*] This draft addresses the real issues regarding the tv:<name> form. The current status of this draft can be found at: http://www.finseth.com/~fin/uri This web page includes copies of or pointers to the draft, the requirements document, and all other relevant supporting information. [*] Not all of this discussion happened on the www-tv list, but enough did that a review of the list archive should be sufficient for most purposes. We now return you to your scheduled confusion. (:-) Craig
