Hi, Sabine:
Follow up our discussion in today's ALTO session, one issue I raised is about the terminology we used in the unified properties draft. I feel the term "unified properties" lacks clarity and causes a little bit confusion to people who are familiar with this draft, that is on is unified property break existing protocol or component such as
Endpoint property, I am wondering if we can change the term into property Map, so the title will be changed into "ALTO extension: Property Map" , which is also align with the title of Path vector draft, Does this make sense?
As you mentioned, this was discussed in the past, can you remind me the history discussion why the current name is picked. Thanks in advance, hope we can resolve this as soon as possible.
