Subject: Comments on Extensible Resource Descriptor (XRD) Version 1.0 Working Draft 11
I've reviewed the XRD 1.0 spec and have the following issues: 1. Expires http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/download.php/35678/xrd-1.0-wd11.html.#element.expires "This dateTime value indicates the time instant after which the document is no longer valid." There is no explanation of what 'valid' means. I presume it is not used in the context of XML, so it is not referring to XML validity. Should none of the information in the XRD document be used after the expiration time? Or only the signed information? What is the relationship between XML validity and this expires validity? That is, if I receive an XRD document that does not conform to the schema, obviously that means it is XML invalid, but does that XML invalidity mean that the document is also invalid in the 'expires' sense? 2. Link/@rel "This URI value defines the semantics of the relation between the resource described by the XRD and the linked resource. The rel attribute is semantically and syntactically equivalent to the Link Relation Types defined in [Web Linking]" This definition does not state whether Web Linking relations are valid to use in Link/@rel. It also gives no guidance if new Link/@rel values should be registered in the Web Linking relationship registry before being used in Link/@rel. Thanks, -joe
