Subject: [xri] Implementations and InteropMoving forward, I think it is extremely important that we have validated multiple interoperable implementations of XRI parsing and resolution before we should call our specifications final. Toward that end, I would1) Like to hear who is implementing the current draft specifications (and who is these implementations publicly).2) When we could set up a interop event (probably a "virtual" event to start) to test both interoperability and to validate that the specification is understandable and unambiguous.Toward these ends, I have set up a set of pages on our wiki (linked off of the front page at http://xri.oasis-open.org/xri under Interop and Conformance Testing).For a "virtual interop" event (which should also lead to significant feedback on the spec itself), I propose we have participants set up resolution servers and implement resolution of a variety of test XRI deployments which excercise multiple features. Participants testing client implementations should then run all tests against all participants testing server implementations. I actually think we have some interesting interop testing issues with proxying and lookahead that we'll have to think through as we get closer.I propose sometime in late February for this first interop event - this implies the resolution specification will have settled down a while before this. I certainly hope this is the case.At some point, we will publish these test "cases" in some more formal way beyond the wiki. We'll certainly want to publish *results* moving forward.For those contributing to the spec, I would especially encourage you to go over to the wiki and start building out the test cases. This is *absolutely* critical if we are going to have a usable spec in the wild.THANKS-Gabe
