Hello Peter, Joachim and Dave (& others).
Thanks for the input.
tror du beh?ver uppdatera adresser etc i
https://www.iana.org/assignments/uri-schemes/prov/iotdisco det l?r v?l inte
komma fram post till valparaiso? och din mail fungerar ju inte heller.
Regarding address in application: Yes, it points to my old address in Chile. I learnt that
I was to move back after sending the application. A request to update the contact
information has been sent. Let’s see how long that takes…
jag reagerade p? att version skall vara numeric med
decimalpunkt men m?nga
k?r ju major.minor.patch https://wiki.eclipse.org/Version_Numbering vilket
eg blir string?
You could also report the version number as two or more parameters. The point here is to
make searching more simple. For instance, you want 1.10 to be greater than 1.2, which it
is if numeric, but not if a string. This makes it possible to search for temperature
sensors of brand X, model Y with a version number greater than Z. You could add a patch
parameter (or build parameter) to include more detailed information if you want.
I find this slightly unfortunate, because XEP-0053
reads:
The XMPP Registrar shall be responsible for interacting with the
IANA on behalf of the XMPP Standards Foundation. If an XMPP
Extension Protocol specification requires interaction with the IANA,
that fact shall be noted by the document author(s) and discussed on
the Standards mailing list along with normal discussion of the XEP.
The XMPP Registrar shall collaborate with the author(s) to submit an
appropriate request to the IANA.
I suppose it could be argued that this registration has been made on
behalf of ISO/IEC/IEEE working group 21451-1-4 (not the XSF), or even on
behalf of no organization.
Correct. The work on this was part of the IEEE WG. I also mailed the iot list (and others)
for comments, but received them a bit late.
What exactly is the relationship between this URI
scheme and XEP-0347?
XEP-0347 proposed a method (in §3.9) where metadata could be encoded as a string, and then
encoded as a QR-code (as an example). In the IEEE WG, they did not like the fact that the
string was not encoded as a URI. So, we created another encoding based on similar
principles, but that has a URI scheme and valid URI syntax. This encoding is better, and
the URI scheme is registered. The idea is to update XEP-0347 to reflect this change. It
also makes it easier to integrate into software scanning QR codes to know what the code is
supposed to mean.
Yes, Peter Waher's postal and email address, as
listed, doesn't work
anymore, does it?
Nope.
I'm a little confused by the registration, which
seems to be several pages
longer than it should be anyway and hasn't been, as far as I can tell,
formally reviewed by anyone. So it doesn't surprise me at all that odd
things like version numbers (which have no place in protocols) have ended
up in there.
Yes, it was reviewed by several people. IANA does not publish things that have not been
reviewed.
Also, for future reference, it'd be helpful to
keep to English on these
lists, despite Google Translate's help in giving me some idea of what's
discussed.
I often do this error myself, believing I’m responding to a person directly, when I’m
actually responding to the entire list.
Best regards,
Peter Waher
