On iafa@bunyip, Jon writes about his reissue of the IAFA draft: > Keep all the comments coming in folks... I am writing only now since I was away over Xmas. I had a look at the draft tonight. There does not appear to be much change to the previous version. In particular, I can not find any passage that addresses the critical thoughts that I communicated to this list under a threat "IAFA templates: a user's comment" that run here on 21 March 1995. In particular, I claimed that the templates are based on the assumption that each version is contained in one file, which is wrong in many practical instances when encoding documents. I requested a "part" syntax. Jon then suggested to use the order of templates to emulate a "part" syntax. However the current draft still says that that the field order does not matter. Until this issue is cleared up I can see little future for the use of the templates. In the meantime, paf wrote, in a private message: > Now to another thing which we have deleted from the IAFA > paper, and that is the '-v0' etc endings of the attribute > names. Instead we are using ordering among the attributes. Since I collect the templates to use the whois++ protocol to transport my database, I am more interested in being whois++ compliant, since that is what the software requires. However I have not a set of rules about how to write template-files. If I had those I could have a stab at my own draft "on encoding documents \`a la whois++". The practical experience we have already gained with the WoPEc project (http://netec.wustl.edu/WoPEc.html) should help. However I need at least one coworker. Any takers? P.S. I am copying this message to whoispp-shema@bunyip.com, if that is not an appropriate list please feel free to tell me off :-) Happy New Year!
