<br>
Just so everyone is on the same page, for each of the two URLs below:<br>
is it equivalent to some i-name?<br>
if so, which i-name?<br>
<br>
<a href="http://xri.ru/=joaquin" eudora=autourl>http://xri.ru/=joaquin<br>
</a> <br>
<a href="http://xri.joaquin.net/=joaquin" eudora=autourl>http://xri.joaquin.net/=joaquin</a>
<br>
<br>
(Let's first assume that each identifies a HXRI proxy resolution service.
Then, if relevant, the case when they don't.)<br>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 color=navy face=Arial><span style='font-size:
10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:navy'>Joaquin, sorry, it was getting very late
last night, so I didn’t put in the full rule, which appears on the XRI TC
wiki page on XRI Syntax 2.1, specifically:<br>
<br>
<a
href="http://wiki.oasis-open.org/xri/XriCd02/Xri2dot1Formats#head-53d6e9e25a1fc09b79a3e624f2618f7c5d54ba69">http://wiki.oasis-open.org/xri/XriCd02/Xri2dot1Formats#head-53d6e9e25a1fc09b79a3e624f2618f7c5d54ba69</a>
<br>
<br>
The rule says:<br>
<br>
</span></font><br>
A HXRI proxy resolution service is identified by an HTTP(S) URI in which: <br>
1.<font size=1><span style='font-size:7.5pt'> </span></font>The
least significant domain name begins with "xri." AND <br>
2. <font size=1><span style='font-size:7.5pt'> </span></font>The
first character of the path is a GCS character (!, =, @, +, $), i.e., the
starting character of a canonical XRI. <br>
<br>
These two rules together should produce an diminimus number of false positives.

Drummond, this smells strange to me. But the only questions I can
formulate are:<br>
<br>
-- How did you get from '<a href="http://xri.net/'%A0" eudora=autourl>http://xri.net/'
</a>to '<a href="http://xri/" eudora=autourl>http://xri</a>*' ?<br>
-- What kind of funny-business might happen with '<a href="http://xri.ru/"
eudora=autourl>http://xri.ru</a>' ' or ' <a href="http://xri.joaquin.net/"
eudora=autourl>http://xri.joaquin.net</a>'?<br>
<br>
Cordially, Joaquin<br>
<br>
Well, maybe this one, too:<br>
<br>
-- Since I can run my own XRI root and resolver, ... what? (?)<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
