xu: as a schema was proposed as a level of implementation to extend
current web browsers to add support for universal edition identifiers (UEI).
UEI are differentiated from URLS in that they locate a piece of
information in both space and time. a desire to provide smooth migration
of the existing web base to a xanadu compliant information base suggests
that a UEI should beable to encode essentially a URL, a time, a CRC
validator and a range within the edition.
implemented in this fashion, xanadu compliant servers could register
existing documents from the web as an edition to be propogated within the
xanadu server net. registered editions now benefit from being able to be
served from the most appropriate node on the net on a per transclusion basis.
indeed, the xu: mechanism provides a means for both the client and the
server to identify transclusions as a distinct transaction to be handled
accordingly, without having to double up mime types or dedicate specific
ip addresses or servers to xanadu compliant servers.
