I like it.

I’m no expert on RFC for schemes but should it have some examples and instructions on what a user agent should do when presented with an xri: scheme?

Well, I intended it to be "registration template and nothing more", ie. the purpose of this draft was intended to be "reserving the 'xri' scheme". Considered this, I don't believe this may be necessary.

XRI TC Members:

Ironic, but I have received two inquiries about the status of the XRI specs in the last two days even though it is August and many OASIS TCs (such as the XDI TC) are on a break this month.

In any case, the email below is from a Ukraine-based author who has voluntarily drafted an IANA registration of the "xri:" scheme for XRI 2.0, even if the scheme is registered as 'provisional'.

Please review it and send any comments to the list. I told him we'd try to get back to him in early September.

Enjoy your vacations,

Hello Drummond,

After some discussions with Graham Klyne, IANA expert reviewer for URI schemes, we reached the consensus that it is fine to register the scheme as 'provisional' at the current moment; then, when XRI 3.0 processes, it will be easy to move it to 'historical' category.

Please see new version of the draft at http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-yevstifeyev-xri-uri-rsrv-02.

I still would like the TC performed formal review of the draft.

Thanks,
Mykyta Yevstifeyev

Because of this, I have the following questions:

Have you discussed the registration with anyone at W3C?

What, in your opinion, is the motivation to perform the registration with IANA at this time?

Might it be better to wait until after XRI 3.0 becomes a formal OASIS standard (which right now is waiting on the XDI 1.0 specifications to be completed before we planned to pursue finalization of XRI 3.0)?

Since XRI 3.0 will abandon using the separate URI scheme, I think, considering W3C objections and your remarks, it will be wise to process with this document as Historic (and, respectively, register the 'xri' scheme as historical) when XRI 3.0 becomes OASIS TC specification. Could you please let me know what stage is XRI 3.0 in? Are there any working drafts of it?

Mykyta

Mykyta, I strongly agree that this is the best approach. XRI 3.0 Syntax has been done for 18 months -- see http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/download.php/35972/xri-syntax-3.0-wd03.pdf. The only feedback we've had is that the spec could use a few examples, which we plan to add. The main thing we are waiting for is the XDI 1.0 specifications from the XDI TC, since XDI is based entirely on XRIs for addressability of the XDI graph model. See http://wiki.oasis-open.org/xdi/XdiOneSpecs for a breakdown.

Right now I anticipate the XDI 1.0 specs to be drafted this summer and to reach Committee Specification level sometime this fall.

I hope this helps, and we would love your help to proceed with the XRI historical registration as soon as XRI 3.0 is ready to proceed.

Best,

=Drummond
