Hi,
Thanks Nicoco for your contribution.
For the record, I've voted +1 on it as I think that it's a very much needed
feature, and it's good to finally see some move here (where there was work
before, but not visible in the standard@ process).
I have a concern about using a trademark known for a conflict about its name in
example (Apple Records), but IANAL, maybe it's fine. We have also said in the
council meeting that making up TLDs is not a good idea either (even if it's
fun, they can be registered anytime), there is the `.example` for that.
My other concern is technical, I have the feeling that we are re-inventing
pubsub on top on disco here, with actually using pubsub for subscriptions, and
Ad-Hoc for creation/deletion (which are built-in pubsub features).
I'm known to be a strong pubsub advocate, but I really think that it's a
better fit here: all feature are here, with permission management, subscribers
list, etc. By using disco, we're have to reinvent the wheel IMO.
That's not a reason to block this specification, but that's something which
should be discussed to be sure we are going in the right direction.
Best,
Goffi
