Re: [BLISS] Initial ringtonesfordraft-alexeitsev-bliss-alert-info-urns

["Elwell, John" <[e-mail]>]

We should at least try to avoid having two or more URNs with the same semantics, coming from different countries. Furthermore, we should try to register names that reflect the meaning, rather than the representation, of a tone, so that it can be rendered in the appropriate way for the locale concerned. For example "internal.short-short-short" tells me nothing about the meaning (other than that it is internal). If it is intended to denote three short bursts of tone, this could convey different meanings (or confusion) to a user outside the locale where it originated.
