Subject: Basic comment on XRI necessity and scope
It is not clear from reading the documentation why the authors chose to develop a new specification instead of re-use and embellish the Uniform Resource Name (URN) scheme and resolver (IETF RFC 2141) which was designed for this purpose. I don't understand why a XRI is needed when URN management through IANA and designated authorities is already in place. Proposed document should include a scope and explanation for the standing and capabilities of the XRI with respect to the existing URN practices, or be withdrawn as a proposed OASIS resolution.
