Subject: Re: [xri-comment] Re: [OpenID] [xri-comment] My Feedback for XRD Vrsion 1.0
first of all, I've removed general@openid.net from this thread. xri- comment is the right place to discuss XRD... there's no need to hijack the OpenID list as well. If people there care to follow this discussion, they can join the xri-comment list.

So you're telling me that a specification entitled "Extensible Resource Descriptor" is not actually about describing resources? Really? One of the things it describes about a resource is the relations that resource has with other resources. This is done in the form of one or more <Link> elements. But this is not the only way the resource is described. It is also described by <Alias> identifiers, as well as <Type> values (soon to be renamed to <Property>). In addition, because the document is extensible, the resource may be described in any number of ways by extension elements. XRD is a resource descriptor; it describes a resource. That's what it is. I don't know how to make it any plainer. You can redefine the scope all you want, but realize that you would then no longer be talking about XRD. -will
