I really do wish I'd understand what makes it too sacred to let people decide over themselves. (Not hearing about it baits me to believe there aren't any reasons one wouldn't be ashamed to admit.) But if you do auto-generate id properties, as I read that, please make them short and URL safe without %XX encoding. > Yes, I do adhere to the "your data, your mess, your business" > philosophy. I think the "one ring to rule them all" philosophy (ref. > Lord of the Rings) is a bad idea (replace "ring" with format, schema, > uber ontology). I'm not sure how read/write (=something authors can both decide for themselves and output in presentation mode) id attributes would be an example of that philosophy, though. Does the above analogy add a requirement on id:s to be world unique now, even outside of the scope of a given exhibit? (I thought that was what the auto-generated uri:s did.) -- / Johan Sundström, http://ecmanaut.blogspot.com/ _______________________________________________ General mailing list [email protected] http://simile.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/general
