Well, it doesn't really "matter" depending on how you look at it, but in general it's inappropriate to claim big chunks of namespace in other people's domains. I thought this was obvious but I suppose the examples need to state it explicitly. The main practical thing you lose is the convenience of people being able to plug those URIs into a browser and actually getting to information. That said, we can perhaps establish chunks of namespace at lv2plug.in if people want them, but you at least have to ask :P Maybe we should use PURLs or set up a similar simple redirect service at lv2plug.in for people who don't have a long-term stable namespace to use... > If I do bn't control any domains, what can I use as URI? You control http://avwlv2.sourceforge.net/, calf uses its sourceforge URI. -dr _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-dev
