RE: [xri] FW: Dereferencing rules are required for interop
Markus,

 

This behavior was suggested by Drummond
when I first documented these rules last fall. I agreed with him then as I do
now, but I’ll leave it to him to present the defense.

 

The rules need to appear in the spec in
any case.

Hey Steve,

Are you sure about lines 3 and 5 in the table? Should a Ref be dereferenced
just because there is no CID in the XRD? Even if there is a matching SEP?

My understanding of CID verification was that it simply verifies a CID (if
there is one), not influence the resolution process, but maybe I was wrong.
Maybe its purpose is more like "give your best to find me a verified
CID".

Drummond,

 

I've
sent this document to you at least twice already. It does not appear in the
spec. 

 

If
you do not feel that this specificity is absolutely required for
interoperability, then please explain why.
