Hi, "Uniform Resource Identifier schemas describe resources. Why then are some of the themost popular URIs schemas named as actions? mailto: is an action, whilst email: is a resource. The first is the standard and widely supported, and the second is not the standard and is not supported by a single application. Another example: tel: is a resource, whilst callto: is an action. The second is supported by Skype (a popular calling software) but is not a standard, and the first is the standard but not supported by a single application. To me it looks like calling users to actions is more important than pointing out the appropriate resource. Which is not the point of an URI. Am I missing something here? Where did it all go wrong?.." Question originally asked in my blog: http://thewebdesignjournal.com/2007/06/uri-schemas-are-dead/ What I mean to say: Should not the mailto URI schema be renamed email or something?.. Or why is it named the way it is? -- Daniel Aleksandersen _______________________________________________ Ietf@xxxxxxxx https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf
