Candidate for Committee Draft release

I’ve attached a candidate for the committee draft
release. Turn revision marks on to see the changes. 

 

Summary of changes:

 

-         
New document name and new document identifier –
xdi-syntax-resolution-1.0-cd

-         
Converted front matter to committee draft status.
NOTE: We need to provide a link to the document errata. I chose to link to the
TC home page, where we can put a link to errata. This indirection avoids a
messy URI that depends on OASIS internals, like http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/download.php/4322/wd-xri-specification-RC2.pdf.
If people are ok with this, we need to create an empty errata document and add
a link to the TC’s main page.

-         
There were TODOs in the text to add a reference to
the XRI Primer and the XRI Metadata Spec. Because there are no documents to
reference, I just removed the TODOs. When those specs are complete, we should
produce errata on the Syntax/Resolution spec that clarify those references.

-         
Spelling corrections throughout

-         
Corrected substantive typo in 2.2.4.5

-         
Changed “Identifier Authority Descriptor”
to “XRI Descriptor” throughout

-         
Changed “NextAuthority” to “XRIAuthority”
throughout

-         
Added normative text in 3.2.6 about ignoring annotations
during resolution

-         
Changed non-normative text in 3.2.7 for clarity based
on feedback from SourceForge project

 

Note that I did not change appendix C (I think the current
text is good enough).

 

IMPORTANT: I did not proof section 3 to see if there were
changes other than simple search and replace associated with the change from “Identifier
Authority Descriptor” to “XRI Descriptor” and from “NextAuthority”
to “XRIAuthority”. I plan to read that section tonight, but at
least one other person should do the same.

 

Comments are welcome.
