Yadis Standardization

[Drummond Reed]

Hans,

Gabe and I discussed this. The XRI TC charter explicitly includes a
resolution protocol, which is where we have defined the XRDS document
format. The addition of the Yadis specification to the XRI resolution
protocol would simply specify how to retreive an XRDS document from an HTTP
or HTTPS URI.

Since the XRI Resolution specification is based on HTTP(S), we already have
a number of other parts of the XRI Resolution specification that deal with
HTTP(S) URIs. So adding a section on how to retrieve XRDS documents directly
from the HTTP(S) URI associated with the identified resource would appear to
fit cleanly under this scope.

Does this fit with the TC's charter? From XRI TC charter
(http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/xri/charter.php):

"
Scope

The scope of the XRI TC is limited to the definition of the XRI 
identifier scheme, one or more resolution protocols (in particular, 
a generic resolution protocol with secure resolution extensions), 
XRI metadata (special XRI identifiers used for describing other 
XRI identifiers), and documents supporting implementation and 
interoperability of XRIs.

A separate OASIS TC (XRI Data Interchange - XDI) is expected to 
define an XML schema and an associated Web service for exchanging 
data and metadata identified by XRIs.
"


It seems the second paragraph hints that Yadis may be a better fit 
in the XDI TC?
