Re: [urn] Formal request for URN for Persistent Web Identifier (PWID)

[John C Klensin <[e-mail]>]

Henry,

Thanks.  Again,, my goal is not to get a conclusion of "good" or
"bad" but to try to get the documentation and the registration
to reflect as much context and perspective as might be useful to
a reader or someone considering using the system.  In addition
and in parallel with a discussion that is going on in parallel,
if there are multiple proposals being developed in this area,
I'd like to be sure that everyone is aware of everyone else's
work.

   best,
    john
