You could have the outer space class names capitalized, while the
inner
space class names are all lowercase.
Does this seem cleaner?
it looks cleaner but it doesn't give us the flexibility of a
class/instance directory structure.
how can we get a list of all groups for china?
/{country/China/{group/
would work to do that.
how would we do it with your scheme?
/Country=China/Group=*/ ?
Isn't group an inner-space name? In your scheme it would be:
/{country/China/}group/
(you wrote {group above). In my suggestion it would be:
/Country=China/group=/
implementing that would not be simple.
These are just syntactic changes, I would imagine the implementation
would be similar for both. Perhaps I haven't thought of all the cases.
i guess we could do something like
/country=China/?group=*
