ABSTAIN
Source URL keyword

Happy to see myself able to cast a last-minute vote that will hopefully
help to pass the dSIG OID proposal (if my vote count so far is correct).

This one, on the other hand, doesn't seem to matter anymore. I am
abstaining, contrary to my earlier intention of voting yes, because of a
reason that I will provide as soon as I find the time. (Gotta go now...)

Cheers,
Cosmin

Hello,

This is coming late and the small number of votes received in total
makes it a non-issue, but I am writing this response for the sake of my
promise.

When John first proposed "Source URI" (the first draft wording, not the
actual proposal), he mentioned rendering of an object - any object - and
I liked that more than "Screenshot URL" that had just been voted down at
that time. With that in mind, I had the intention to vote "yes" in the
event my counter-proposed "URI" fails.

It is my mistake that, due to my not so careful reading, I had not
noticed that the final wording - both "Source URI" and "Source URL" -
went back and limited the applicability to web pages.

So, to me, this was just a rewrite of "Screenshot URL", but with a less
suggestive / more ambiguous name. I was somewhere between "no" and
"abstain", and it made no difference.

Best regards,
Cosmin

Here is what we voted on.  It does not seem to have such a limitation.

File: source_uri_keyword_20080803.txt

It is proposed to register the following new text keyword for
use in PNG files:

Source URI   If the image was produced by rendering a single
            resource a URI identifying that resource, as defined
            by [RFC 3986|http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3986]

(the Source URL proposal does mention web pages; I don't
see what would be wrong with such a limitation.)

Our informal rules allow Source URI to be brought up again
next February, if anyone still wants it.  Or sooner if a substantial
change is made to the proposal (I can't think of one).

I don't think anyone defines 'web page' anywhere, but certainly if the
intent was to restrict the URI to what is conventionally meant by a web page
that would be bad.  I certainly intended the original (Source URI)
definition to be useable for any URI, whether the resource is (for example)
a page on the world-wide-web or not.

In particular I *did* intend the URN interpretation, where the resource is
not locatable, merely identifiable.

So, do I understand correctly that "Source URL" failed because it
contained a definition consistent with URL instead of URI?  "Source URI"
had already failed earlier.

As I probably said previously, both "Source URL" (restricted to web
pages and other URLs) and "Source URN" (less restricted) are fine
with me and probably should have both been approved.  I recommend
that people go ahead and use whichever is appropriate to their own
particular situation, registered or not.

I meant to say "Source URI" not "Source URN"
Sorry for the confusion.

Well... the keyword didn't succeed or fail - what failed was the vote to add
the definition.  As you say an application writer is free to use either,
neither or both with any appropriate definition.

I *think* the second one - "Source URL" - failed because people who had
voted before didn't feel that the new definition was actually an improvement
on "Source URI" so didn't vote.  That's just a guess.

I think it if were me I would write "Source URI" and read "source ur[nli]"
(case insensitive.)  I wouldn't treat URN, URI and URL as different because
I think it's pretty clear that most people don't distinguish URI from URL.

I'm confused. The text you're quoting above was
source_urI_keyword_20080803.txt.

I thought the CFV was on the following:

Source_URL_keyword_20080906.txt
Source URL    If the image was produced by rendering a single
             URL the text portion of this chunk contains
             a URL identifying that web page, as defined
             by [http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3986#section-1.1.3|
             RFC 3986 section 1.1.3]

I admit I might have missed something in the discussion - lately I can
barely find 5-10 minutes per week to spend with this list, and I
concentrated on my dSIG OID vote - but this is what I *think* we were
supposed to vote on.

Best regards,
Cosmin
