I think a fundamental web architecture issue is being
ignored if we simply look at URL space as a functional
categorization. IMHO, it should be viewed
as a means for classification (as originally intended)
of information, and thus humans should be able to find
resources given an information architecture.  If we assume
a separate/distinct namespace is a requirement, we throw away
the ability to maintain a valuable abstraction.  There
is precedence in presentation of information given
context (.e.g., role) and making DAV:source work would
satisfy this.

                    02/28/2002 06:04                                                                                                             

As I recall, I was willing to consider the Translate header
or a GETSRC method, if I was the only one who found them
objectionable.  I consider a separate URL space for authoring
a superior approach, since I believe separate URL spaces
are a simpler model, and one that will prove to be more
extensible.  It also is very compatible with common web server
extension mechanisms, which allow you to dispatch to different
modules based on what part of the URL space you are operating in.

So with support from Julian, it no longer is "just me", so I
revert to my natural position, which is against both the
Translate header or a GETSRC method.
