Re: [Anima] [core] ANIMA constrained-join proxy revision to use CoAP

P.S. to that, following an off-list comment:

By "URI resource name", do you mean "URI path component"? "Path" seems to be the official name for what follows the host in a URI, according to RFC3986.

"Resource name" is confusing because a URN is different: RFC8141.

I just noticed that when GRASP discovery is used (service "BRSKI_RJP") the Join Proxy only discovers IP address and port so has to make an assumption on the URI resource name being '/'.

We could say that because our service is being discovered on a particular port (typically differing from the default CoAP port as shown in Section 5.1.1 example) we don't have the issue that we would interfere with other resources using name "/".
