Subject: RE: [xri] Issue 1: Clarifying * Semantics
Loren -
While you are correct that it's all SMOP (a Small
Matter of Programming) and
the differences we're talking about are somewhat
minimal in regards to the
complexity of the parser, the one less rule makes
it quite a bit easier for
the programmer *writing* the parser to understand
things, and thus decreases
effort and mistakes.
It also makes it more
likely that a human who happens to see a (HFI-based) XRI
string has a chance
to understand what it means.
This is important in the world of Identity
Commons where we expect users to
see XRIs and, just like URLs, have some sort
of grasp as to what they convey.
