Subject:RE: [xri] Aligning XRD with Link (Header/Element)

Ever since Eran explained this at the IIW and XRI TC F2F sessions two weeks ago, I've been wondering this same thing. Given that XRDS/XRD has probably penetrated <1% of its eventual installed user base if successful, now's the time to make this change if ever.

I find the direct mapping of semantics compelling, especially as XRD spreads out to a much larger audience of developers.

Question: would <Type> become <Rel> under the parent XRD element as well, or would that remain <Type>?

As currently proposed:

<XRD> <Service> <Type>http://example.com/relationship</Type> <MediaType>application/xml</MediaType> <URI>http://example.org/document</URI> </Service> </XRD>

Is semantically equivalent to:

HTTP Header: Link: <http://example.org/document>; rel="http://example.com/relationship"; type="application/xml";

HTML Element: <Link rel="http://example.com/relationship" href="http://example.org/document" type="application/xml" />

Given that Link(s) are becoming the prominent mechanism for metadata on the web, I think there is great value in lining up XRD with that trend. So...

I would like us to seriously consider renaming:

Service --> Link Type --> Rel MediaType --> (unchanged) URI --> (unchanged)
