Re: [OAUTH-WG] I-D Action: draft-ietf-oauth-urn-sub-ns-03.txt

[Barry Leiba <[e-mail]>]

This one's mostly there.  As Mike and Hannes are discussing, the WG
needs to sort out exactly what goes under "oauth" here.

Here's a suggestion:
Have Section 3 specify that what comes after "oauth" are one or more
tokens, delimited by ":".
Have Section 3 create the registry for the first-level token, "class".
 In your example, that's "grant-type".
Have Section 3 specify that the definition of each "class" token
specifies what comes after it -- how many tokens, and the meaning(s).
Have Section 3 note that certain classes might create new
sub-registries for what goes under them, if necessary.
Have Section 3 note that certain classes might have *no* further
tokens under them.

I realize that there might not be any use cases envisioned right now
for that last one, but it might be a bad idea to forbid it.

Section 5:

   o  Repository: [[not sure about this? this document or
      http://www.iana.org/assignments/oauth]]

Yeh, I've never been sure about that either.  I think what you want
here is "[[The registry created in Section 3.]]".
See RFC 6134 for how I did this with the "sieve" namespace.
