RE: re "bizcodes"

["Nieman, Scott" <Scott.Nieman@norstanconsulting.com>]

I do recall the team discussing the URN topic in Orlando.  

It is our policy to identify areas of reuse as much as possible throughout
the ebXML project, and I believe at that time we felt that the URN was
reusable.

David, if you think the URN is insufficient, we probably could use a pros/
cons analysis between Bizcodes and URNs (ideally in a table format).  I want
to keep an open mind - yet I do see from the IEFT site,there has been a lot
of work going on regarding unique identification.

Terry, I believe we were discussing rfc 2611 and the syntax 2141.  It was
not a very detailed dicussion and perhaps we could have done a better job
documenting this.

I want to nail this down sooner than later.  This is critical.

Scott

Clearly, for EBXML, we want to use URNs as identifiers; I pointed this
out in Orlando.  "Bizcodes" seems to be pure wheel reinvention.
