Wang,
I think your ideas are interesting. I also think they would work.
However, I'd like to make some suggestions to improve them. Firstly
though, I'd like to offer my services as an Englishman to help tidy up
the English in your papers. I got the point, but the grammar could do
with "a tidy up" just to make it clearer in places. If you send me the
sources (as opposed to the PDF), I will be happy to get them into a form
that the majority of the IETF readership would be happier to work with.
It's not a criticism, and I can assure you, hand-on-heart, your English
is much, much better than my Chinese! :-)
I'd also like to discuss with you via e-mail some details around the
specific implementations. I think what you have proposed can work quite
nicely, but it can be improved by moving the emphasis for indexing from
the owners of domains and address spaces to the owners of the content.
Unfortunately what you are suggesting seems to suggest that indexing
available at national and international scopes COULD be owned at a state
level (the ccTLD owner at any rate) regardless of the content owner's
wishes. We can tweak the spec and the technology to put ownership back
where it belongs, but it needs some thought.
Let me know if you would like to discuss this further. With your
permission I would also like, after being able to tidy up your paper's
English translation, to forward it to some people I know who have
studied and research information theory and see if they have any input.
I look forward to your response,
