Comments on AIR

Two initial brief 
comments:

 

1) The term "URL" is 
used throughout the document. Is this intended to mean HTTP URI or URI in 
general? I don't think the term "URL" should be used at all - either "HTTP URI" 
or "URI" should be used. 

 

2) I find section 6 
confusing - is it just defining a URN namespace? I was surprised to see this 
section here. Perhaps more of a roadmap for the document or a refactoring of 
sections 5,6, and 7 would help. It seems like sections 6 and 7 should be 
children of section 5 - that is, they seem to be peers of section 5.4 
(filenames). We have, in essence 3 ways to identify/name documents: filenames, 
HTTP URIs, and URNs. Each form of identifier is based on required metadata. 
Expressing this in section 5 would be helpful.
