Hi Yuri, My simple proposal was initially made through the WADL list [1], then relayed by Marc Hadley on the W3C URI list where URI templates are currently being discussed [2].
>From what I understood, additional parsing info inside the template variable is not desired by the draft authors. Indeed, this metadata can also be specified outside the template string, like in the WADL spec.
