Re: [weirds] Fwd: Standardising Structure in URIs

[Andy Newton <[e-mail]>]

Is it possible we can get the draft author to address our specifications? I agree with some of the content of that draft, but other bits seem to say "THOU MUST use URI Templates". That is an issue that has been discussed a couple of times here, but it seems to add little utility and causes more complexity on the client in addition to additional roundtrips.

Subject: [weirds] Fwd: Standardising Structure in URIs

FYI, this is likely to be adopted by APPSAWG.  It may affect our URI specification stuff, which I think drew a DISCUSS during IESG evaluation.

I started this draft during the Berlin meeting, and since have had a lot of positive feedback.

Would the APPSAWG be interested in taking it on as a WG document?
