I'm not sure, yet, that there is a consensus forming. For example, Peter
Kazmier replied to Craig McClanahan's message about commons-foo-x.y.jar, and
suggested:
> To grab the latest released version:
> commons-foo-RELEASE.jar
> To grab the latest nightly build:
> commons-foo-SNAPSHOT.jar
> And of course, to grab a specific version:
> commons-foo-x.y.jar
Unless you view "-" and "/" purely as separators without the directory
hierarchy connotations.
And my descriptor-based proposal doesn't specify or mandate the artifact's
URI, only the URI for the project descriptor. The latter would provide
provide URIs for its constituent artifact(s), amongst other things.
