Hi David,

There needs to be some form of global hierarchy delimiter - well more to the point there should be a common one across OpenStack installations to ensure we are providing a good and consistent (and more to the point inter-operable) experience to our users. I'm worried a custom defined delimiter (even at the domain level) is going to make it difficult to consume this data outside of the context of OpenStack (there are applications that are written to use the APIs directly).
We have one already. We are working JSON, and so instead of project name being a string, it can be an array.

Nothing else is backwards compatible. Nothing else will ensure we don;t break exisiting deployments.

Moving forward, we should support DNS notation, but it has to be an opt in


The alternative is to explicitly list the delimiter in the project ( e.g. {"hierarchy": {"delim": ".", "domain.project.project2"}} ). The additional need to look up the delimiter / set the delimiter when creating a domain is likely to make for a worse user experience than selecting one that is not different across installations.

    There would be no global hierarchy delimiter. Each domain would define
    its own and this would be carried in the JSON as a separate
    parameter so
    that the recipient can tell how to parse hierarchical names
