Dave &
Drummond-
I
looked through the -10 version with a focus on areas that were changed and had
just a very few bits of feedback
Line 139 - the word
"community" is not used before this line. I'd just say "..to be used to specify
an XRI authority" (or "XRI root authority").
Line 325 - (also
Line 343 - table 1) - I think the word "authority" is being used a little
sloppily here. In IRI & URI specs, "authority" means a syntactic construct -
a BNF production. In Table 1, the descriptions of the various GCS's talks about
authorities as organizations who exert control. I think its better to stick to
the IRI/URI definition. I'd change the text in the tables to the following (text
changes apply to the "Establishes Global Context For"
column:
For =: Identifiers
for whom the authority is controlled by an individual person
For @: Identifiers
for whom the authority is controlled by an organization.
For +: Identifiers
for whom there is no centralized control of the authority, or for whom the
authority is controlled by general use. For example, generic dictionary
concepts, "tags", etc.
For $: Identifiers
for whom the authority is controllede by a specification from a standards body.
For example, other ...
Line 781 - RFC 4234
has just been published (http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc4234.txt)
which obsoletes RFC 2234 - This updates the ABNF specification. I don't know if
we want to go there - I don't know what changes are in 4234 and whether they
affect our BNF. If anyone is up for *heroic* effort, they could look at RFC 4234
and see if we can just reference it instead of RFC 2234...
