Working out what the question is before offering an opinion.... Firstly there seems to be a few overlapping things here. There is is the information itself
The unique identifier of a domain Whether this domain is a tuscany: runtime domain or a domain provided by some other domain Whether the domain is local to a JVM or made up of distributed part accessible over TCP/IP In the remote case what IP endpoints information about the domain can be exchanged with In the remote case what protocol can be used to exchange this information Are there other snippets of info we are trying to configure? For example, I'm sure we'll want to consider authority information at some point. And the more emotive (?) question of whether this information should be presented directly in the domainURI or separated between the URI and some external configuration of defaulting algorithm. Sound right? Simon
