As I mentioned in my previous mail we don’t need to consider it a reference to 
a document. We could just make it a reference to anything. The module using the 
tmp service would know what type of reference it is and it could cast it to a 
document reference if it knows it’s that.

BTW this means that my URL entity reference serializer/resolver are no useful 
for this ;) (they’d still be useful for the “reference” url scheme though). We 
could simply take a String an replace the “/“ and “\” with some other symbols 
and do the same when parsing the URL..

So the generic format would be:

http://<server>/<context>/tmp/<module id>/<serialized reference/id representing 
the resource>/<module-dependent resource path>

The <serialized reference/id representing the resource> wouldn’t be able to be 
empty though since <module-dependent resource path> is non-fixed length (e.g. 
“a/b/c”).

WDYT?

Thanks
