Web site metadata improving on robots.txt, w3c/p3p and favicon etc.

Description:

Rank: background

Current deliverables: none

Issue scope:
The architecture of the web is that the space of identifiers on an http web site is owned by the owner of the domain name. The owner, "publisher", is free to allocate identifiers and define how they are served.

Any variation from this breaks the web. The problem is that there are some conventions for the identifies on websites, that

/robots.txt is a file controlling robot access

/w3c/p3p is where you put a privacy policy

/favico is an icon representative of the web site

and who knows what others. There is of course no list available of the assumptions different groups and manufacturers have used.

More in the original message from TBL .

Community affected: XRI, OpenID, ?

External contacts and dependencies: Mark Nottingham's host-meta RFC draft (input); waiting for next draft?
