=3DDrummond=20 =09 -----Original Message----- From: Wachob, Gabe [mailto:gwachob@visa.com] Sent: Monday, April 21, 2003 12:36 PM To: 'Peter C Davis'; OASIS XRI Subject: RE: [xri] Version enclosures Peter- Actually I'm glad you kicked off discussion here - I had intended to pick some of the issues and dive in, but I'm happy someone other than the chair has taken the initiative. As to the substance of your point - I agree! +1! The only question I have is about the status of the '['/']' characters vs. '('/')' characters - are there situations where [] must be escaped? (I don't think so). -Gabe P.S. I really dig your approach wrt referring to sections of text: [:version#linenum] But perhaps we use (in the approach of "eat your own dogfood"): xri://(urn:oasis:xri)/documents/syntax-and-resolution[0.5]#53 Or in relative form: xri:syntax-and-resolution[:0.5]#53 Or in version-only form: [:0.5]#53 -Gabe > -----Original Message----- > From: Peter C Davis [mailto:peter.davis@neustar.biz] > Sent: Monday, April 21, 2003 8:23 AM > To: OASIS XRI > Subject: [xri] Version enclosures > > > as indicated in the draft strawmanas an issue > xri://(http://www.oasis-open.org/apps/org/workgroup/xri/downlo > ad.php/1614/xri-unified-strawman-draft-05.pdf)[:0.5#line122) > > "[ISSUE: Using parentheses for versioning complicates > things since > parentheses are also used for > cross-references.]" > > I would like to suggest that we replace the "(",")" enclosure > with "[]" > (square brace), as it is the most visually distinct character > from "()". > This releases the ambiguity of the reader somewhat (knowing > immediuately > whether one is referencing a version of an object or a reference to > it).
