RE: [xri-editors] Question about example

["Dave McAlpin" <dave.mcalpin@epokinc.com>]

Done.

I'm also a little confused about the use of '.' in a couple of the examples.
In some places, like '+flowers.rose', there's clearly a hierarchy implied.
In other places, like '+table.of.contents' and '+email.address', it just
seems like a stand-in for whitespace. Since we define resolution that
assumes a hierarchy in the xri-authority component, I'm wondering if
something like '+table.of.contents' is more confusing than illustrative.

Dave, that's what FRESH EYES do. I had completely missed (being the
original author of that example) that it was like sending someone email
asking for their email address.

The (+phone) change solves that problem nicely. Please do it.

I'd be ok with the (+phone) example. The intent, I'm sure, was to be
parallel with the next example in the list

xri:=JohnDoe.home/(+email.address)

I just think the example we currently have is odd - kind of like calling
someone to ask for their phone number or sending email to ask for their
email address.

I think the first example is more direct if I understand the intent of
the
example. I think all the example means is to identify the email address
of
the person identified with the email address
"mailto:john.doe@example.com";.
Its kind of a silly example since its a tautology. Probably better would
be:

xri:(mailto:john.doe@example.com)/(+phone)

The phone number of the guy with the email address john.doe@example.com

But maybe this is not hte intent?
