Human Readable Resource Identifiers

["Gabe Wachob" <gabe.wachob@amsoft.net>]

From Norm Walsh and Richard Tobin:

Seems sorta like the XRI -> IRI escaping rules for any unstructured identifier:

2.  Motivation

   Several XML-related specifications use strings which are interpreted

   as IRIs, but which allow the use of characters which must be escaped

   in a legal IRI, such as delimiters and a few ASCII characters.

   Examples include XML System Identifiers[4], the href attribute in

   XLink[5], and XML Base attributes[6].  These specifications all

   describe, with slightly different wording, the same algorithm for

   converting that string to an IRI.  The purpose of this RFC is to

   provide a single definition which can be referenced by these

   specifications, and to provide a name for strings of this type: Human

   Readable Resource Identifiers.
