URNs aren't on the Web... There's some confusion over CRIDs IMO - even in RFC 4078 they get referred to as URLs. I think it's best to think of them as URIs, designed to be unique and location-independent. TV-Anytime defines the concept of a CRI service that (amongst other things) provides mappings between CRIDs and locators, which could include http, rtsp etc *URLs*. This gives you the benefits of both time-invariant identifiers and time-varying locators, at the cost of an extra lookup. welcome to CRIDland! -- cheers, Jakob. - Sent via the backstage.bbc.co.uk discussion group.

[backstage] BBC Ofcom complaint raised
weird that nobody picked that up yet on this list, or could it be that it got lost in the freethebbc debate? http://www.opensourceconsortium.org/content/view/65/55/ wmv format is apparently the cause of the complaint. -- cheers, Jakob. - Sent via the backstage.bbc.co.uk discussion group.

It's more about the fact the the code fetches the data instead of pulling it from the HTML file. see http://www.adaptivepath.com/publications/essays/archives/000385.php The javascript actually writes the page based on the XML data it has collected , it can also filter and sort this data (think google maps). This is not very different from the conventional model where the data comes as part of the HTML file and updates don't happen without a page refresh. see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AJAX I think this destinction is important although the common misuse of the term would suggest that others don't . they are of course wrong ;-) Toodle-pip Amias - Sent via the backstage.bbc.co.uk discussion group.
