[OASIS Issue Tracker] (XDI-3) Section 2.4 - Persisten Identification

[OASIS Issues Tracker <workgroup_mailer@lists.oasis-open.org>]

    [ https://issues.oasis-open.org/browse/XDI-3?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=40648#comment-40648 ] 

Joseph Boyle  commented on XDI-3:
---------------------------------

I think 1st sentence means "we previously specified a list of requirements, and this is what does this requirement".

= and + names are persistent. This is enforced by the registry, not by anything in XDI syntax itself. Any other identifiers are potentially reassignable, though applications will likely have conventions for considering additional classes of identifiers as permanent in that application's context.

> "So a key design goal of XDI is to support the requirements of both persistent and reassignable forms of identification; to provide precise means to map between them; and to make it syntactically unambiguous which form is being used in which context."
> Shouldn't the 1st sentence  say "... to support the benefits of both..." ?
> Or remove "the requirements of".
> Comment: unlike most other design goals, it is not clear to me how we achieved the aforementioned goals. In particular, I'm not sure where reassignable identifiers are used in XDI? Is it through dictionaries?
