[Openid-specs-ab] Spec URL

 On Monday call, we agreed to use

   http://openid.net/specs/connect/1.0

 as the spec identifier URL for the core.

 On the hind site, this may not be optimal. At the very least, we 
 probably want to put the traling slash "/".
 Otherwise, we would not be able to make that a publishing point for 
 multiple representation of the same spec unless we do something creative 
 with mod_rewrite. I would rather use Apache's default content 
 negotiation capability.

 We also have to decide on the URL for all the other companion specs. 
 Would they be something like:

   http://openid.net/specs/connect-userinfo/1.0/
   http://openid.net/specs/connect-framework/1.0/

 etc.?

 In that case, would it be more appropriate to make the core like below?

   http://openid.net/specs/connect-core/1.0/

 Other option (Option 2) is like:

   http://openid.net/specs/connect/core/1.0/
   http://openid.net/specs/connect/userinfo/1.0/

 etc. for the individual specs, and

   http://openid.net/specs/connect/1.0/

 for the "Index" page giving the list of all of the sub-specs.

 I am fine either-way, but Option 2 seems a little more attractive in 
 the sense that it has grouping notion embodied.

 Thoughts?
