Subject: RE: [xri] RE: Describing vs Described problem (was Compromise Conceptualization Towards CD-02)
Bill-
Thanks for asking these questions!
BUT *I'M* getting confused. There's a lot here that I don't
think the XRI TC needs to speak to.
I think generally the answer is that you can do all of the
things you propose, Bill, and we (the XRI TC) shouldn't really care.
Well, I thought the pushback to my reconceptualization was (well, Drummond agreed, at least) that an XRI authority can identify *anything* (in essence, an XRI authority is just a degenerate XRI in that sense). It resolves into an XRID that describes possibly the resource identified by the authority, as well as services (such as authority subsegment resolution) hosted on behalf of that authority by some network endpoint. So Drummond's response to you confuses me since it seems to be more in line with my reconceptualization than the pushback.
I actually don't care too much at this point - we need to decide and move on.
I think all of this is out of scope of the XRI resolution spec. I think people will use XRIs in different ways and we'll find out with use what works best. In fact, the XDI TC is proposing one way to use XRIs that answers many of these questions and I think other efforts at the same layer of XDI will be seen.

I wish I could always make my point by throwing out a list of cliches...
