Ryan, Ron, Leslie, et al.,

The other two internet drafts (draft-ietf-urn-syntax-03.txt and
draft-ietf-urn-http-conv-01.txt) both seem fine to me, with one minor
comment on the latter.  In fact, I have no further comments on the syntax.

Perhaps I missed it in the THTTP doc, but otherwise suggest that there
should be a statement somewhere up front that indicates that responses to
such request can in no way be guaranteed to be complete or correct
(although it is in everyone's best interest to do this as much as
possible).  The point is that this protocol makes no statement about the
validity of the responses being sent other than any provisions for
protection of transmitted data.  This is a minor point, but is probably
worth adding to avoid any misunderstandings about correctness or
completeness of the responses.
