Subject: RE: [xri] PLEASE REVIEW: WD11 Section 8 (Yadis) proposed text


Steve,

 

Good question. My answer: XRI resolvers *never* perform “Yadis” discovery (I’m trying not to use that term because it’s largely been deprecated even within the OpenID community) because such discovery is based on HTTP(S) URIs, not XRIs.

 

However we still have it in the spec because:

 

a) It’s very relevant to gaining utility from XRDS documents describing resources that have HTTP(S) URI identifiers.

 

b) In XRI Resolution 3.0, when we define resolution of $(url) community root identifiers, I believe we should just cite that it uses section 8.2 to resolve the starting XRDS. Very clean.

Drummond,

 

Under what context does a Resolver perform Yadis discovery?

Subject: [xri] PLEASE REVIEW: WD11 Section 8 (Yadis) proposed text

 

XRI TC Members and Observers:

 

In keeping with the consensus from last week to make our highest priority the completion of the XRI Resolution 2.0 spec, we are plunging into review of Working Draft 11 this week. The ball for posting the first editor’s draft is in my court, and I have reserved all day Tuesday for completing it so review can begin Wednesday before our standard TC telecon this coming Thursday.

 

However one section is ready for review immediately – the new section 8, which is where we are incorporating the Yadis specification for discovery of XRDS document from an HTTP URI. Since we need the Yadis and OpenID communities to review this carefully, I have posted the proposed text of this section as a new XRI TC wiki page at:

 

            http://wiki.oasis-open.org/xri/XriCd02/XrdsDiscoveryFromHttpUris

 

I would like to post a request for review to the OpenID Specification mailing list tomorrow (Monday) night after the XRI Resolution editors and other TC members have had a chance to review it. So please do look this over tomorrow if you can – it’s only about 1 page of text – and post any and all feedback to the list (even if it’s just to say +1).

 

Thanks,

 

=Drummond
