Fair enough - thank you for clearing up what you'd meant.

If I may ask, did you receive my reply to your reply? I inquired
whether removing anything would improve the 'extra details' issue you
commented on.


After another question elsewhere, I've come up with another way of
describing what I'm trying to accomplish with nym: that instead of
simply being a direct identifier of a particular resource, it's a
second- or third-order one. That is, while http://twitter.com/Profile
points to a particular online profile, embedding that URL in a nym
would be using it to point to what that online profile points to: that
is, the person identified by that profile.

Does such an approach suggest how nym might be less 'inappropriate' as
a URI scheme?
