Subject: RE: [xri] Adding XDI as a service in XRIDs
Drummond- Strong objection to the first. I don't see why referring to a non-existent spec normatively at this point makes any sense, especially when the current wording doesn't *prevent* future use of XDI as a local access protocol specified in the Service element for Local Access. Agreement that the second would be reasonable. If for no other reason than parallelism to Local Access. -Gabe __________________________________________________ gwachob@visa.com Chief Systems Architect Technology Strategies and Standards Visa International Phone: +1.650.432.3696 Fax: +1.650.554.6817 > -----Original Message----- > From: Drummond Reed [mailto:drummond.reed@cordance.net] > Sent: Sunday, January 09, 2005 10:44 PM > To: xri@lists.oasis-open.org > Subject: [xri] Adding XDI as a service in XRIDs > > > Gabe et al: > > In discussing XDI and XRI resolution with Loren and Dave at > an overnight > last week, one obvious suggestion came up: with the XDI TC > well on its way > to defining its first specs for "XRI Data Interchange", the XRI 2.0 > Resolution spec should add "XDI" as a second standard service > type alongside > "X2R".
