Subject: RE: [xri] Explicitly non-resolvable XRIs
Could you put meta data in the version syntax that indicated that the XRI points to an unresolvable resource? That way an identifier could point to a non-resolvable resource in one version and a resolvable resource the next without having to change the main body of the XRI. Marc -----Original Message----- From: Dave McAlpin [mailto:dave.mcalpin@epokinc.com] Sent: Thursday, July 10, 2003 7:36 PM To: xri@lists.oasis-open.org Subject: [xri] Explicitly non-resolvable XRIs There's a desire to provide syntax that marks an XRI as explicitly unresolvable. Draft-06 includes a bang "!" character in the authority-part production for this purpose. As noted in the issues list, this causes several problems with XRIs that contain a URI-authority. For example, software that knows how to handle generic URIs will see the ! as part of the server component (most likely the hostname component), where it's an illegal character. I'm suggesting we define a different scheme, xrin, that's identical to xri except that it explicitly disallows resolution. Thoughts or comments? Dave
