[apps-discuss] proposing draft-farrell-ni as an appsarea wg item

[Stephen Farrell <[e-mail]>]

Hi,

Yesterday, I presented a draft [1] on a URI scheme for naming
stuff to the decade WG. There's interest in that there but
the idea behind this is really broader than just decade so
if there's interest here, doing this work in the appsarea WG
would I think be much better.

The scheme is basically like HTTP URIs with one additional
thing, which is that it specifies a way to include a hash
function output in the name (and the related input, in case
you want to verify something later) which seems to me to be
a generally useful thing that various protocols could use
in various ways. Hence the idea of bringing it here.

So, comments appreciated,

Thanks,
Stephen.
