Interesting TAG thread on composable URIs

[gwachob@visa.com]

Interesting thread in the TAG group about "composable" URIs (URIs containing URIs - thats *us* folks).

Specifically, Roy Fielding (at  http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-tag/2003Jul/0013.html) says:

"
>>http://www.foo.com/bar/baz.jar#jar(/COM/foo/Quux.xml#foo)

There is no situation or context in which it is appropriate for balanced parentheses to appear as a suggested URI syntax.  It is
the wrong choice in all circumstances.

Since this example is an http URI, it can easily be

    http://www.foo.com/bar/baz.jar/COM/foo/Quux.xml#foo
"

A bunch more interesting opinions in that thread.

Its clear Roy Fielding will have issues with  XRI. :-)
