Subject: Re: [xdi] Updated XDI ABNF page
Per last week's telecon, I have updated the XDI ABNF page...to incorporate the InnerRoots proposal:When I made the edits, I realized that by adding just 6 more lines, and where necessary changing the rule name prefix to "xdi-", we could eliminate any dependency on the XRI 3.0 ABNF. In other words, the entire XDI ABNF would stand on its own, with the only referenced ABNF rules being those from the IRI spec (which is exactly the same with the XRI 3.0 spec).This has two advantages:
- It eliminates the need for anyone reviewing the spec to need to check another external spec (besides the IRI spec, which we must reference) to review the complete XDI ABNF.
- It eliminates any dependency on XRI 3.0 needing to advance (which is not necessarily an issue, but just one less dependency to worry about).
Just to clarify, this didn't involve making any changes to the ABNF, just including all the complete set of ABNF rules in one place.=Drummond
