Incorporating RFC 2141 will save you from having to go

through all of the

arguments already dealt with during the production of the

RFC, and provides

more detailed and specific information necessary for users

and implementers.

Applying RFC 2141 is fine from my point of view. As such I need to
update the examples I provided earlier to reflect marlin and phoenix
as sub domains of the Avalon domain.

Wouldn't it be fine to have "avalon:" as the root?  Like this:

avalon:home.work
avalon:merlin:something-special.whatever
avalon:phoenix:something-solid.xxx

Why make the string longer than it needs to be?

I would tend to agree - after reading through RFC 2141 my initial reaction was to cosider the domain compoent as "apache:avalon:...", however, it is also valid to say that we are dealing with things that are relative to the Context interface which is implicitly "avalon" as root. As such your suggestion is completely valid.

Cheers, Steve.
