unAPI revision 2 published

March 17th, 2006

unAPI revision 2 is available.

The major change from revision 1 is that all HTTP status codes have been removed from the specification itself, which now more explicitly defers to RFC 2616.  The “Notes on HTTP status codes” section has been renamed “Recommended HTTP status codes and error handling (non-normative)”.  Note the thoughtful input on this topic from several contributors in this thread.

Other changes include:

  • Added a list of contributors
  • info: URI examples were changed to http: and urn: examples, which should be more familiar to a wider audience

There remains a lengthy to-do list of open issues.

Separately, unAPI has been mentioned in some interesting places recently.
