I'd like the document to make it clear that this applies not only to meta data but also the URLs for HTTP APIs. It will help interoperability of these APIs to have them at well known APIs. If you disagree with this, then I have lots of questions about how meta data is somehow different than the API use case. |

However, to allow for the allocation of values prior to publication, the Designated Expert(s) may approve registration once they are satisfied that an RFC (or other Open Standard) will be published. RFC 5226 does not refer to an Open Standard as per RFC 2026 (supplementary to an RFC)when refering to a Specification, but rather uses the term "permanent and readily available". Experts usually interprete this as accepting specifications that are not issued by an SDO as ITU-T, IEEE, ANSI examples used by 2026. Is the intention here to be more restrictive than 5226 and recommend using only SDO issued 'Open Specifications'? |

This document represents a significant deviation from the conventional wisdom and long standing consensus around where control for the assignment of URIs to resources lives. The change will have a huge impact on client, server, and application code. It will also impact server and application policy. This will put us on course for a web full of conventions and expectations like: https://www.example.com/.well-known/login https://www.example.com/.well-known/shopping-cart My initial (very negative) reaction to the draft was informed by the earlier consensus. That said, the draft presents an informed discussion of the tradeoffs made by taking this path, and it does appear to scratch a real and spreading itch: (Anecdote: Adam points to Thunderbird's use of https://autoconfig.(hostname)/mail/mozilla.xml deep in it's non-user-configurable javascript code) So, I am willing to ballot No Objection, but would like to first talk through these points: 1) There is some legacy text capturing the earlier wisdom that will have to be adjusted. Has there been any activity yet to identify the places that need touching and to start the change process? (I'm looking at things like http://www.w3.org/TR/webarch/#uri-assignment for example). 2) As a quick sanity-check, could we talk through whether the review of this document so far has been sufficiently broad that we are unlikely to surprise anyone here, in the w3c, or elsewhere that we shouldn't have surprised with a statement of IETF consensus? |

I question the need to involve a list here - do we really expect such a volume of requests? I think normal Expert Review is sufficient. |

Introduction While there are several ways to access per-resource metadata (e.g., HTTP headers, WebDAV's PROPFIND [RFC4918]), the perceived overhead associated with them often precludes their use in these scenarios. I would personally like to see an expanded version of this statement. In particular "perceived overhead for whom" and why is it perceived. 3. Well-Known URIs Note that this specification also does not define a format or media- type for the resource at located at "/.well-known/" and clients I think the first "at" should be dropped. should not expect a resource to exist at that location. 5.1. The Well-Known URI Registry Before a period of 14 days has passed, the Designated Expert(s) will either approve or deny the registration request, communicating this decision both to the review list and to IANA. Personally I prefer to have 2 periods - the expect review period and the maximum review period after which the requester can complain. This is what I used in one of my documents (6 weeks is the upper bound in this case): Expert Reviewer should strive for timely reviews. Expert Reviewer should take no longer than 6 weeks to make and announce the decision, or notify the mailing list that more time is required. Decisions (or lack of) made by an Expert Reviewer can be appealed to the IESG. 5.1.1. Registration Template Change controller: For standards-track RFCs, state "IETF". For other open standards, give the name of the publishing body (e.g., ANSI, ISO, ITU, W3C, etc.). A postal address, home page URI, telephone and fax numbers may also be included. Question: can a new well-known URI be registered by an individual person and not an SDO? I.e. is it Ok for a reviewer to say "you are not an SDO, publish an RFC or go away"? |
