Some standards use PURLs, you find it in RSS / RDF documents,
and IIRC also for DC meta tags. It was an idea to get a stable
URL for why.html, not for the complete Web site.
I like the idea of the redunancy which such a redirector offers (assuming
you can easily point to a mirror site, should one be down). And perhaps
for the why.html page we can still do this. But not for the main site; and
having two different URLs, then, might be confusing.
you don't see Microsoft hosted on http:/purl.net/microsoft/
purl isn't a hoster, it's a redirector.
I know this. :)
What has Microsoft to do with mail standards, so far they
only "invented" them, have they already implemented one?
To me, a URL like http:/purl.net/spf/ is just one notch above something
like http://spf.myisp.com/. Microsoft has nothing to do with this, of
course, except to serve as an example of how a "big boy" (and we want to
play with the big boys, right?) does not generally piggy-back on someone
else's URL domain.
