@mwherman2000 Independent of the question whether the changes at RWoT#8 in Barcelona reflect community consensus, your PR here proposes that both did-fragment-ref
and did-service-ref
start with a ;
character. Is this what you meant to propose?
Good catch @peacekeeper - fixed
@mwherman2000 - So, the context for the proposed change from ;
to $
is twofold:
$
is more readable/visible than ;
(which is only a few pixels away from :
, which is used throughout the did).$
looks like S
for "service".In any case, I don't think this repo is the place to argue this. That paper is just that - a Rebooting paper. There is going to be a PR to the DID spec with the ABNF from this paper, with explanations. So, that PR would be the place for debate.
As I stated here https://github.com/WebOfTrustInfo/rwot8-barcelona/issues/163 .,,,
"$" is particularly problematic because "$" is already in common usage in many accepted international specifications for URLs:
OASIS/ISO OData System Query Options: http://docs.oasis-open.org/odata/odata/v4.01/cs01/part2-url-conventions/odata-v4.01-cs01-part2-url-conventions.html#_Toc505773217
In addition, these changes came from a closeted discussion behind a one-off, pay-to-play event from which no notes, attendee list, or recording are available - no record of the discussion, the participants, the justification for the changes - it doesn't represent the opinion of the broader communities that meet weekly basis every Tuesday and every second Thursday. It was a total surprise to those of us who met yesterday on the Thursday DID Resolution concall.
@dmitrizagidulin These following aren't adequate justifications ...they're fluff ...especially in light of https://github.com/WebOfTrustInfo/rwot8-barcelona/issues/163:
$ is more readable/visible than ; (which is only a few pixels away from :, which is used throughout the did).
This is irrelevant because the DID syntax is a syntax/procotol for developers to implement in software. It's not a human readable language.
$ looks like S for "service".
Fluff.
There is going to be a PR to the DID spec with the ABNF from this paper, with explanations.
This sounds like what was decided in Barcelona is being jammed down our throats (see https://github.com/WebOfTrustInfo/rwot8-barcelona/pull/164#issuecomment-470940682). Why are you not:

Hi people - I think this discussion thread might be misplaced. This repo is not related to the W3C CCG work other than perhaps having a few common participants. Andrew

- posting it as a did-spec issue
- then initiating an open discussion
- build community consensus
- then, possibly, proceed to a PR?

I agree. It raises further questions why this document was placed in this repository.
@shannona I don't think it was the intention of the authors for this to be merged; you should probably revert the merge while the discussion is ongoing.
Thanks; reverted.
Removed "$" and "!" from grammar. Reset "$" back to ";" pending resolution of https://github.com/WebOfTrustInfo/rwot8-barcelona/issues/163
