Subject: XRI Res ED 08 decision - need feedback
XRI Resolution Editors (and any other TC member interested): Thanks to Steve, we now have an example local resolver API which will become non-normative Appendix C in Editor's Draft 08 of Working Draft 10 (the last of these "Editor's Drafts"). This API is document on the TC wiki at: http://wiki.oasis-open.org/xri/Xri2Cd02/ResolutionExampleApi Once we finished this example local API, it brought up several options for how it could be mapped more efficiently to the proxy resolver API that we do normatively specify. Steve and I batted around the options over the weekend, and we ended out with three proposals that are listed at the bottom of the page above. The one Steve and I are leaning towards is #3, which collapses all the choices about resolution type and return type and service endpoint selection into one list of media types. Besides reducing three potential proxy resolver parameters (_xrd_a, _xrd_r, and a possible _xrd_s) to just one (_xrd_r), it also has the advantage of allowing XRI communities to advertise the precise capabilities of their XRI proxy resolvers. Under this proposal the list of media types that could be offered by an XRI proxy resolver would be: application/xrds+xml application/xrds-saml+xml application/xrd+xml application/xrd-saml+xml application/xrds-sep+xml application/xrds-saml-sep+xml application/xrd-sep+xml application/xrd-saml-sep+xml text/uri-list text/uri-list-saml Note that only the first two of these are the media types for an XRI authority server. The other 8 are all for proxy resolvers only. Since I'm writing this into the spec this afternoon, I'd love to get feedback. Do folks agree that expanding the list of media types to cover all these options is the cleanest way to specify the proxy resolver interface? If so, these would become the values of the _xrd_r parameter. The only other parameters (besides the QXRI) would be: _xrd_t Service Type _xrd_m Media Type _xrd_n No-Follow-Refs Flag Thanks for any feedback -- I'm aiming to publish Editor's Draft 08 tomorrow, hold final review on Thursday's TC call, and publish the final Working Draft 10 on Friday. =Drummond
