<font size=3>[Sorry folks. There was a blunder in the previous
message.]<br><br>
I took Rob's question literally: Is "
<a href="mailto:robyates70@gmail.com" eudora="autourl">
mailto:robyates70@gmail.com</a>" a valid Yadis idenfifier?
<br><br>
It seems to me that this question is quite separate from the discussion
of, as examples, using an SMTP server in an OpenID protocol or specifying
a standard way to resolve a mailto: URL to an http: URL, or specifying a
way to use a mailto: URL as an Open ID ID. Please straighten me out
if i am wrong.<br><br>
As I wrote in my previous message, it seems to me that, according to the
text of the Yadis specification, the answer to Rob's question is:
Yes. (It is possible to read 6.2.1 along with 6.2.2 and conclude
that a Yadis ID, if it is a URL, must have as scheme, http or
https. I feel it is not best to hang our hat on such readings: we
should simply say what we mean.)<br><br>
At present there is no project to clean up the Yadis spec on this topic
and there is no project to specify which URLs can be used as Yadis IDs
nor to specify how to resolve those which can. (We all assume that
the XRI resolution service is the one to use with XRIs, but this is not
specified in the Yadis spec.)<br><br>
