Re: [apps-discuss] The acct: scheme question

[John Bradley <[e-mail]>]

I would prefer a separate working group, with two specs one for discovery and one for the URI scheme.

As another poster pointed out schemes have particular semantics and trigger specific browser behaviours.   The scheme needs to answer questions around expected browser behaviour.

The answer might be do WF discovery and display results in some form, but that should be separate from the discovery spec that can operate on any URI.

I believe that both documents will actually progress faster if discussions about one feature don’t become entangled in the other one.
