I agree with the above. (c) is the only working solution. This is needed because the document currently under the name of a URI syntax document talk so much about URLs, and use a terminology that is only valid for URLs, that confusion occurs regarding, if nothing else, the difference between a URL and a URN. It does not help that the document have "may" all over the place. I think it is definitely better if we have documents about URIs, URNs and URLs, so the number of "may" can be limited to a minimum when we talk about so important things as grammars and what characters are allowed, how encoding is done and how to handle/accept things like fragments, queries and relative addressing. Personally I have not read the URI syntax document until I, as a member of the URN working group, was told about the URL syntax document turning into a URI syntax document during the IETF in Washington, DC. Leslie, as the chair of the working group, promised to talk to the authors, the area directors and Larry as the chair of the HTTP group, about the problems we in the URN working group saw with the intention of the document changed, and because of that I have not said anything until now. I have now reread draft-fielding-uri-syntax-01.txt aswell as Leslies two proposed documents, to test the thesis I have that (c) is the best choice, and I must say that it is. Patrik
