Re: Merging RRP and Whois
George, The decisions made now will affect rrp implementors _now_. One of the failings of "extensibility" (a token periodically emitted by bits of the W3C) is its lack of self-description. What is being extended? A schema? A state machine? An access control mechanism? Reference to rockets, and scientists, living or deceased, are not sufficiently specific. Since the specifics of privacy/data protection are fundamentally scoped (temporally as well as spatially) and hence irreconcillable with scope- free universalism(s), let alone any other actual property of a rrp or a whois-successor protocol, please accept my "non-hum" to the suggestion that A wait on B, etc. Eric
