Re: [xri] definition of "XRD Document"

[Drummond Reed <drummond.reed@xdi.org>]

I'm fine with them being "XRD Sequence Documents" or "XRDS Documents", though I prefer the latter just to keep consistency with the use of acronyms and root element names.

I think it's okay (and probably better) for the spec to be clear that the term "XRD Document" refers to an XML document with the root element <XRD>, and that "XRDS Document" refers to an XML document with the root element <XRDS>.

Hope that helps,

Ah, right... you do actually call them "XRD Sequence documents".  That works.
