Re: NEW RELATIONS: timegate ; timemap ; memento ; original

[Herbert van de Sompel <[e-mail]>]

Dear Jan,

In the link relation registry at
http://www.iana.org/assignments/link-relations/link-relations.xml I
see several entries that point to versions of Internet Drafts:

- http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-snell-additional-link-relations-07
- http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-wilde-profile-link-04

If for some reason the same approach can not be followed for the
Memento relation types, then I can see two alternatives:

(1) Use the version-independent URI of the spec as posted on the Memento site:

http://www.mementoweb.org/guide/rfc/ID/

The current version of the Internet Draft is always available from
that URI, and the RFC will eventually be available from there too.

(2) Use the version-independent URI of the spec in the IETF data tracker:

https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-vandesompel-memento/

Many greetings

Herbert
