Does a reference URL suffice or is there more that you would want to see when doing resource discovery to help you figure out whether this is the one you want to use?

My inclination is to keep this as straightforward as possible unless somebody has a compelling use case for complexity. With that in mind, I vote for just a reference URL, unless somebody can step forward and explain why that’s inadequate.

Is the current draft version the same as you circulated in October last year? As I recall, I sent some specific comments on that at the time — if it would be useful, I can look them out for you. If there’s been another iteration of the document, perhaps you could circulate it to the list?

Thanks!
