Experimental new shared (available to anyone) NAAN 92250 - inline (self-contained, in-link) concepts To try: (from discussion at last meeting) Some questions from Greg J. 1. Is the intention that N2T would treat this NAAN specially, and not resolve such ARKs to any target? That is, the example ARK resolving to biscicol.org (as it does now) is just a way to demonstrate what N2T would do by itself? Yes, the proposer (John Deck) is using biscicol.org simply as a place to test the feasibility and plausibility. Not counting the documentation template in the code, it only takes about 12 lines of javascript to support, so it would be easy to support natively in N2T. 2. In minting 92250 ARKs, would N2T ignore a target URL and any other supplied metadata bindings? There's no such thing as "minting" in this case. These ARKs come into existence only by dreaming them up and writing them down. Although technically possible (assuming an AuthN model existed for these anonymous ARKs) there are no plans for N2T or any other resolver to ever store metadata for them. 3. Would it be more logical for N2T to return HTTP 204 No Content since there is indeed no content associated with such ARKs? That's an interesting idea. It would be nice to have another distinguished "signal" for this case (the NAAN 92250 is one such signal), but to use "204 No Content" may be misleading. There actually is content (which could amount to the equivalent of several paragraphs of text, whatever fits in a modern URL-embedded ARK), but it's carried in the link itself. Other questions:
