RE: [Uri-review] Request for review

Mark,

I'll let Andrey answer the technical concerns, but I would like you to
be able to view the specification. The license is just a review license,
and is intended support letting you, and others like you look at the
spec. Please have a quick look at the license text and feel free to ask
any specific questions.

Andrew,

When I try to learn more about "open packaging", I'm confronted with a
request to accept a license that I'm hesitant to accept.  Therefore, I
have not read that document.

But if I assume it's just some kind of packaging format, like
multipart/zip/etc.., I have a serious concern about the need for this
new URI scheme.

If I have a package identified by this URI;

http://www.mysite.com/my.package

Then why can't I identify the "a/b/foo.xml" part contained therein, by
this URI?

http://www.mysite.com/my.package/a/b/foo.xml

It seems to me to meet the requirements that are explicitly mentioned
in your registration template. e.g. being able to use the URI of the
package as a base URI for parts.

There's other concerns too, about the encoding a URI inside the
authority component of another URI, but the concern described above
trumps it so I'll refrain from getting into that for now.

Cheers,

BTW, thanks for following the procedure described in RFC 4395.  I
think this is our first registration request under the new guidelines,
so it's nice to see it in good shape.

Mark.
