Document: draft-kindberg-tag-uri-06.txt
Review: Joel M. Halpern

 This draft is on the right track for publication as an Informational
RFC, but I think it has an open issue, described in the review.

 Specifically, it is using informational publication to create a new
 URI scheme. My reading of the scheme definition documents indicates
 that informational is for use with existing schemes, and PS is to be
 used for new schemes?

 Nits: In listing the alternatives, I am sure there is a good reason
 why URNs won't work for this problem. (It may be as simple as ~they
 look confusing to humans~. Whatever the reason, shouldn't it be
 stated?

 In the security section, the discussion of malicious parties could
 use more work. I can not tell how the second sentence (using
 reputable assigning authorities) helps with the threat of someone who
 simply lies and makes up tags from a space he does not own. I
 suspect that there is an assumption about how tags get associated
 with resources that mitigates this, but I can not determine the
 assumption from this document.
