Nut behind wheel problems.
I meant to have some introduction added to that inscrutable message.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
I have been harrassing the folks on the uri@bunyip.com list (inter alia)
about how they ought to have a more flexible connection between headers
in generalized RFC822 objects and parameters in URIs.
This includes expanding the range of mailto: to incorporate nominating
values for non-fraud-prone headers and in the note to Larry I talk about
how to use the Guidelines-specified headers as parameters of the
Message-ID in a Universal Resource Identifier (URI) for a FAQ.
It just dawned on me that FAQs are the Home Application for "mid: URIs."
That is the present-day case of an information object which is rendered
unique by a Message-ID header and which is accessed from different places
and by different access schemes.
So I wanted y'all to know, in case any of you will be in Dallas for the
IETF.

PS: The "Location:" header in the primary header as opposed to a "URL:"
is a borrowing from HTTP, but I think that it is a better idea.
The "mailto:" URLs would have to be converted to "mailserver:" URLs in
the draft URIs on the basis of current drafts, but they should kill the
"mailserver:" special case and just do it right.
