Christer, I guess what still confuses me is, when both Target and P-CPI are used, which comes first, i.e., which represents the earlier target? When I read the draft, I thought Target was earlier. From various clarifying emails I now get the impression that Target is later. Can you confirm?
Picking up on Francois' point about History-Info, with the introduction of Target and P-CPI we do indeed have a lot of URIs, and of course History-Info can already convey all these URIs and any others. The difference is that History-Info does not give particular semantics to each of the URIs it conveys - they are simply a succession of targets. With Target and P-CPI we are aiming to define specific semantics. I am concerned whether we will be able to define these semantics tightly enough to ensure consistent implementations. The more URIs we try to define, the harder it will be to assign each one a clearly distinguishable meaning. I hope the next draft will help.
