Subject:      rfc2141 - URN syntax question
To: URN-IETF@LISTS.NETSOL.COM

Section 2.1 of rfc2141 states:

        <NID> ::= <let-num> [ 1,31<let-num-hyp> ]

I am wondering what is specifically meant by:  [ 1,31<let-num-hyp> ]

Would I be correct in saying:  The NID can contain between 1 and 31
characters, with a hyphen anywhere except the first character?

Any help in my confusion is appreciated.

Thanks for your time,

After having some debugging fun with recognizing an IP address (most
stacks take '10' as '10.0.0.0' or accept any 32 bit number) I'd love to
change that at some point just to make an implementors live easier.

        1-32 chars a-z 0-9
        first char no '-' or digit.

I hope I've addressed the comments I've gotten on this.
If you said something and think I ignored you, please
let me know, I might have lost some comments.

I picked "uri@w3.org" as the main list to discuss this
draft on for public comments.

A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts
directories.


        Title           : 'duri' and 'tdb': URN namespaces based on
dated URIs
        Author(s)       : L. Masinter
        Filename        : draft-masinter-dated-uri-03.txt
        Pages           : 20
        Date            : 25-Apr-02

This document defines two namespaces of URNs, based on using a
timestamp with an (encoded) URI.  The results are namespaces in which
names are readily assigned, offer the persistence of reference that
is required by URNs, but do not require a stable authority to assign
the name.  The first namespace ('duri') is used to refer to URI-
identified resources as they appeared at a particular time.  The
second namespace ('tdb') is useful as a way of creating URNs that
refer to physical objects or even abstractions that are not
themselves networked resources.
The definition of these namespaces may reduce the need to define new
URN namespaces merely for the purpose of creating stable identifiers.

NOTE:   The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
        MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility.  To use this
        feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
        command.  To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
        a MIME-compliant mail reader.  Different MIME-compliant mail
readers
        exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
        "multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
        up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
        how to manipulate these messages.
