Reading over your previous message regarding mapping SuDocs syntax to URI syntax, I completely agree about the necessity of clarifying these rules. But I was referring to the bureaucratic overhead (little thought it may be) in registering an info: URI. This overhead may or may not be useful, but it is there, including a submission process, internal review, & public comments (according the draft info URI registry policy). -Erik
