Today - we are not in the 20 min spectrum.

As far as I can tell these are legal

We really need to harden the URI spec a little and the /  is a good 
start.

Here is my 20 second URI
http://host/[rootdir]/Orginzation/Product/version/type-specfiic-Artifact
one dir each for Org, Prod, and Ver.
After that is dependent on the kind of Product.  ie the java-artifact-spec.
So lets do a 20 sec java artifact spec

  Why don't we just focus on:

  I'm failing to see the requirement for us to do that *now*.
 
 Because Apache projects using the repository would need also non-asf 
 jars that we don't want to distribute - virtual artifacts.

And there are other places those jars can be found.

I'm failing to see how this impacts a repo that stores ASF-only content.

I agree it would be a nice to have, but is it a requirement for an ASF 
repo?

Agree,  lets wrap up the other specs first.  I think we should delay,  
but a week or two maybe enough. 
Comment on the / issue.  Help decidce in the version name not allowing 
release or latest  etc.
When that is done, then we can come back to this. 
I do think with all of Tim's excelent work we can wrap this up in a week 
or two.
