RE: [xri] FW: Dereferencing rules are required for interop

["Steven Churchill" <steven.churchill@xdi.org>]

Markus,

 

This behavior was suggested by Drummond when I first documented these rules last fall. I agreed with him then as I do now, but I’ll leave it to him to present the defense.

 

The rules need to appear in the spec in any case.

Hey Steve,

Are you sure about lines 3 and 5 in the table? Should a Ref be dereferenced just because there is no CID in the XRD? Even if there is a matching SEP?

My understanding of CID verification was that it simply verifies a CID (if there is one), not influence the resolution process, but maybe I was wrong. Maybe its purpose is more like "give your best to find me a verified CID".

Woops. I sent this to the list last week but it bounced due to my not using my xdi.org account.

Drummond,

 

I've sent this document to you at least twice already. It does not appear in the spec.

 

If you do not feel that this specificity is absolutely required for interoperability, then please explain why.
