Hi GWS and Registry,<br>
<br>
[Again, followups on <a href="mailto:registry@ivoa.net" target="_blank">registry@ivoa.net</a>]<div class=""><br>
<br>
For Registry folks not on GWS: There's been a discussion on<br>
the relation between various URI schemes and http over on the GWS<br>
mailing list, with this contribution from Norman:<br>

.... The only nastiness that I can see is that unfortunately<br>
IVORNs have a resource key that looks hierarchical (and must be so<br>
interpreted according to the “/" rules for URIs) - it would be cleaner<br>
if IVORNS where just ivo://authority/key with no extra hierarchical<br>
parts - which actually represents what the “registry data model” is.<br>

Totally agree.<br>
If we could do this, then the world would be a much much happier place.<br>
<br>
* It would make 'ivo://' URI parsers much simpler to write<br>
* We would no longer need the non standard '!' delimiter in 'vos://' URIs<br>
* We could begin to talk about using '/' to delimit "objects within resources"<br>
<br>
Is now the right time to fix this ?<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
