 Hi, I suspect TimBL hasn't spent much time looking at the domestic use of mail addresses - personally I know one couple reachable at don.deb@... and a whole family at bronte@... (Bronte is the daughter's name). A further problem is when addresses change - I recently needed to change some domain name settings, using a web interface, for which I needed the email address I used as 'admin'. Changing job a couple of times, and country once meant that I had absolutely no idea... However, there isn't much else around at the moment - 'mailto:' looks promising. I would think that the second problem could be reasonably covered using some kind of timestamping and referencing, and the sitting-on-lap problem could be handled by additional qualifying attributes. The general idea I reckon is basically valid - the URI doesn't have to refer to the person, just their interface to the digital environment. Security could be a bigger problem though, I would think the overheads could get sticky - perhaps one could have a public URI (not secure) and a private one (digitally signed)? You asked for ideas on a postcard, and I remembered the Dublin Core 'Author or Creator', which led me to the human URI of the form : boris.ivan.vlad i.e. Vlad, son of Ivan, son of Boris... (before anyone ticks me off - women could use the maternal line ;-) I believe there are already geneology schemas in circulation... Cheers, Danny.
