The problem is that different consumers require different representations,
and simply supplying a URL doesn't address this. Is anyone interested in
discussing a simple protocol for managing different representations over an
HTTP-based URL?
Just off the top of my head, I'm thinking something on the order of posting
a desired MIME type and receiving the appropriate document. Thus, my
application might request a schema, but when I can't get it to work I'd use
my dev environment to request the HTML documentation. Or perhaps the URL
returns a list of supported representations and their individual URLs.
In the absence of a common understanding, we'll be doomed to struggling with
ad hoc implementations.
