The data: URI identifies a resource whose definitive *representation* is its content. I suppose data:the-namespace-for-calendars-tbl@w3.org-played-with-on-1999-10-12-at-11: 02:34.09AM-GMT-use-me-at-your-peril (where s/-/%20/g) would both have a useful global uniqueness and also is descriptive. To use data:boo is equivalent to using http://example.com/boopdeboop and serving (text/plain, "boopdeboop") at that address. I would not class this as *very* useful. :-) > >-- >Dan Connolly, W3C http://www.w3.org/People/Connolly/ >
