What impact will time shifting of television content have on the URI scheme?
Will the scheme allow referencing television content which has been cached
locally and it not the current real time broadcast content?

		A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line
Internet-Drafts
		directories.


			Title		: Uniform Resource Identifiers for
Television
		Broadcasts
			Author(s)	: D. Zigmond, M. Vickers
			Filename	: draft-zigmond-tv-url-03.txt
			Pages		: 5
			Date		: 07-Jan-00
			
		World-Wide Web browsers are starting to appear on a variety
of
		consumer electronic devices, such as television sets and
television
		set-top boxes, which are capable of receiving television
programming
		from either terrestrial broadcast, satellite broadcast, or
cable. In
		this context there is a need to reference television
broadcasts
		using the URI format described in [RFC 2396]. This document
		describes a widely-implemented URI scheme to refer to such
		broadcasts.

		A URL for this Internet-Draft is:
	
http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-zigmond-tv-url-03.txt

		Internet-Drafts are also available by anonymous FTP. Login
with the username
		"anonymous" and a password of your e-mail address. After
logging in,
		type "cd internet-drafts" and then
			"get draft-zigmond-tv-url-03.txt".

		A list of Internet-Drafts directories can be found in
		http://www.ietf.org/shadow.html 
		or ftp://ftp.ietf.org/ietf/1shadow-sites.txt


		Internet-Drafts can also be obtained by e-mail.

		Send a message to:
			mailserv@ietf.org.
		In the body type:
			"FILE /internet-drafts/draft-zigmond-tv-url-03.txt".
			
		NOTE:	The mail server at ietf.org can return the document
in
			MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility.  To
use this
			feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before
the "FILE"
			command.  To decode the response(s), you will need
"munpack" or
			a MIME-compliant mail reader.  Different
MIME-compliant mail readers
			exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing
with
			"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have
been split
			up into multiple messages), so check your local
documentation on
			how to manipulate these messages.
				
				
		Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail
reader
		implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version
of the
		Internet-Draft.
