Subject: RE: [xri] Comments on XRI Syntax Draft 10


Gabe,

 

Excellent feedback. I will merge these changes into the final voting draft that I will post Thursday afternoon.

 

Anyone else on the TC doing a review of Working Draft 10 (http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/download.php/14836/xri-syntax-V2.0-wd-10.doc), please send your feedback by-line-number to the list before 3pm Pacific on Thursday.

 

Also, another reminder that there will be ONLY ONE TC meeting this week, and that will be the OFFICIAL meeting at 8AM PACIFIC on Friday the 14th.

 

Please make sure you can attend – we will hold the vote as close to the start of the meeting as possible.

 

Thanks,

 

=Drummond

Subject: [xri] Comments on XRI Syntax Draft 10

 

Dave & Drummond-

    I looked through the -10 version with a focus on areas that were changed and had just a very few bits of feedback

Line 139 - the word "community" is not used before this line. I'd just say "..to be used to specify an XRI authority" (or "XRI root authority").

 

Line 266 - The URL should probably point to the http://docs.oasis-open.org/xri/xri/V2.0 URL

 

Line 325 - (also Line 343 - table 1) - I think the word "authority" is being used a little sloppily here. In IRI & URI specs, "authority" means a syntactic construct - a BNF production. In Table 1, the descriptions of the various GCS's talks about authorities as organizations who exert control. I think its better to stick to the IRI/URI definition. I'd change the text in the tables to the following (text changes apply to the "Establishes Global Context For" column:

 

For =: Identifiers for whom the authority is controlled by an individual person

 

For @: Identifiers for whom the authority is controlled by an organization.

 

For +: Identifiers for whom there is no centralized control of the authority, or for whom the authority is controlled by general use. For example, generic dictionary concepts, "tags", etc.

 

For $: Identifiers for whom the authority is controllede by a specification from a standards body. For example, other ...

 

Line 781 - RFC 4234 has just been published (http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc4234.txt) which obsoletes RFC 2234 - This updates the ABNF specification. I don't know if we want to go there - I don't know what changes are in 4234 and whether they affect our BNF. If anyone is up for *heroic* effort, they could look at RFC 4234 and see if we can just reference it instead of RFC 2234...
