Architecturally, I believe that discovery and the acct: scheme are distinct, therefore I believe they should be separate RFCs, but I won't lose sleep over it if the working group decides otherwise.  I believe that both documents will actually progress faster if discussions about one feature don't become entangled in the other one.

I STRONGLY believe that discovery should have its own working group.  Thanks for bringing that possibility up, Murray.  If acct: is split from discovery, I'm fine with it being in the same working group.

Thanks for asking the questions, Murray.

Subject: [apps-discuss] The acct: scheme question

As we prepare to bring webfinger into appsawg, it looks a lot like there's substantial discussion just on the point of the proposed "acct:" scheme.

So, a question for those tracking the discussion:  Is this a big enough topic that it should be split into its own document?  This would be a useful thing to decide as we figure out how to handle the work once it enters working group mode.

(This by itself has me wondering if we should revisit the conversation about whether webfinger needs its own working group, but I'll leave it to Barry and Pete to make that call.)
