RE: [xri-editors] Candidate for Committee Draft release

I forgot to remove Appendix E, Revision
History, from the version I sent to you guys. I did take it out of the master
doc.

Subject: [xri-editors] Candidate
for Committee Draft release

 

I’ve attached a candidate for the committee draft
release. Turn revision marks on to see the changes. 

 

Summary of changes:

 

-         
New document name and new document identifier –
xdi-syntax-resolution-1.0-cd

-         
Converted front matter to committee draft status. NOTE: We need to
provide a link to the document errata. I chose to link to the TC home page,
where we can put a link to errata. This indirection avoids a messy URI that
depends on OASIS internals, like http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/download.php/4322/wd-xri-specification-RC2.pdf.
If people are ok with this, we need to create an empty errata document and add
a link to the TC’s main page.

-         
There were TODOs in the text to add a reference to the XRI Primer and
the XRI Metadata Spec. Because there are no documents to reference, I just
removed the TODOs. When those specs are complete, we should produce errata on
the Syntax/Resolution spec that clarify those references.

-         
Spelling corrections throughout

-         
Corrected substantive typo in 2.2.4.5

-         
Changed “Identifier Authority Descriptor” to “XRI
Descriptor” throughout

-         
Changed “NextAuthority” to “XRIAuthority”
throughout

-         
Added normative text in 3.2.6 about ignoring annotations during
resolution

-         
Changed non-normative text in 3.2.7 for clarity based on feedback from SourceForge
project

 

Note that I did not change appendix C (I think the current
text is good enough).

 

IMPORTANT: I did not proof section 3 to see if there were
changes other than simple search and replace associated with the change from
“Identifier Authority Descriptor” to “XRI Descriptor”
and from “NextAuthority” to “XRIAuthority”. I plan to
read that section tonight, but at least one other person should do the same.

 

Comments are welcome.
