Re: [OAUTH-WG] AD review of draft-ietf-oauth-urn-sub-ns-02

[Brian Campbell <[e-mail]>]

After looking at the text again, I think you're right Barry.  It's a
bit confusing as the establishment of the sub-namespace and the
registry for it go somewhat hand in hand. But I agree that it's not
well baked and I'm in the process of reworking it to try and address
your concerns as well as the things Stephen, Mike and Peter have
brought up.

The new version will be substantially different (in its from and text
but not its intent) from -02 and I would really appreciate another
review when I get that published (hopefully soon).

Thanks,
Brian
