Subject: V4 of Requirements & Glossary doc


I just uploaded the latest revision of the XRI Requirements and Glossary
document. I apologize for not having it further in advance of the call
but it involved more discussions and revisions than I expected. A few
notes about this draft:

1) The most significant changes were to the first half of the
Motivations section (so significant that revision tracking was making it
unreadable, so I turned off revision tracking for the whole Motivations
section - the first half is all new, so read it all). In particular the
layer diagrams were extensively revised. Much credit here goes to Nat
Sakimura for flagging the issues and Dave Wentker for proposing the new
approach used in this draft. Neither of them have had a chance to review
this new draft yet so they may have more feedback still.

2) Most importantly, these new diagrams introduce the terms "XRI name"
and "XRI address". The context will be clear when you read it, but I'm
tasking Dave Wentker to explain the rationale for this on tomorrow's
call.

3) I turned on revision tracking for the rest of the document, where the
revisions are much more minor, so they are easy to spot. I incorporated
all feedback received on the list (those who made suggestions, please
review the relevant changes). One requirement (Anonymity, Pseudonymity,
Veronymity) was dropped (out of scope), one was added (Proxy
Resolution), and two were renamed ("Profile" to "Specialization").

4) The references were completed and remaining to-dos are minor (some
examples still need to be added in the Glossary section).

We'll discuss it briefly on tomorrow's call but due to the extent of the
revisions, I propose we allow ourselves one more call cycle (10 days)
for final comments to be posted to the list before we call this doc
"done for now".
