17:58:30 [sbp]

18:02:09 [sbp]
Mwahahaha! He referenced ESL as a URV
18:02:24 [sbp]
I wonder what would happen if I submitted it as a URN? Heh, heh
18:09:33 [sbp]
Well, his proposals are only semi-nutty, so I'm quite impressed
18:09:52 [sbp]
They're certainly not as nutty as some of the URI related things that I've proposed over the years
18:10:29 [sbp]
"hrn:" is a bit smegged because it allows domain names to be used for the authority component
18:10:40 [sbp]
I think MM already pointed out that that isn't persistent
18:10:52 [sbp]
Of course, it could be fixed by adding a date component
18:11:02 [sbp]
then it would end up looking like TAG
18:11:18 [sbp]
which is a URT (I think) under this taxonomy :-)
18:13:05 [tomc]
Seemed fairly reasonable.
18:14:12 [sbp]
well, it's a bit odd that way. People will be asking him what group their new schemes belong to, every time one is invented :-)
18:15:09 [tomc]
weren't the groupss distinct enough for schemes to be easily classified?
18:17:41 [sbp]
I'm not sure. But it doesn't look like it, if HRN/TAG are going to be misplaced
18:21:18 [sbp]
heh, can a QName URI be used as the base of a QName? Of course, it can, so you'd end up with:-
18:21:38 [sbp]
qname:name:qname:firstname:http://blargh.org/ns
18:21:48 [sbp]
ooh, and what about "#"
18:22:22 [sbp]
* sbp jumps
18:22:25 [sbp]
"""Thanks to Sean Palmer (sean@mysterylights.com) for his insightful comments and suggestions regarding earlier formulations of this URI scheme and for suggesting the preservation of contextual information differentiating elements, global attributes, and per-element attributes."""
18:22:40 [sbp]
oh yeah, I do recall that
18:23:07 [sbp]
ah, he added:-
18:23:07 [sbp]
globalAttr = "@" attribute
18:23:07 [sbp]
perElementAttr = element "@" attribute
18:23:41 [sbp]
that is actually encouraging - getting a decent taxonomy for namespace partions is a big thing on my TODO list
18:25:31 [sbp]
URI URI: a string would probably do. I like DanC's "how Perl programmers would handle datatypes"
18:27:08 [sbp]

* sbp wonders about a URI stamped tab-delimited data format
20:24:07 [sbp]
USTDD = uri '\n' line+; line = [ data '\t' ]+ '\n'
20:26:18 [sbp]
data = [^\t\n]*
20:26:54 [sbp]
dunno about i18n, although that's important
20:28:43 [sbp]
then, all of the data "items" would be addressable using a QName [ a :DataItem; :ns <http://blargh.org/#>; :name "data" ] .
20:32:29 [sbp]
Heh, I could come up with a new URP for it: ustdd:data:http://blargh.org/#
20:33:09 [sbp]
* sbp decides that uri really should be *URI*, and not URI-Reference
20:33:34 [sbp]
Hmm... should it be fixed column width?
20:39:32 [sbp]
that would shift it up Chomsky's hierarchy, though
20:45:01 [sbp]
whilst I'm defining new data formats, it'd be nice to have a kind-of RDF, but with as many columns as you want
20:45:26 [sbp]
doc = prefix+ statement+
20:46:01 [sbp]
prefix = "'" pre "' " uri-view "\n"
20:46:30 [sbp]
statement = QName | URI-view | Literal
20:46:54 [sbp]
oops
20:47:28 [sbp]
statement = [ [ QName | URI-view | Literal ] "\t" ]+ "\n"
20:47:34 [sbp]
or something or other
21:00:07 [sbp]
the problem with RDF is that >2-ary relations into triples generates a lot more data

a Linus?

procmail is a mail processor. It lets you do server-side filtering and stuff like that.

yeah, sure. Charlie Brown would do something good, and Linus would be all, "ooh, that's really clever, Charlie Brown. Yes, sir!"
