Description

@wesbiggs

Should the DSNP specification define rules and semantics of handles? Currently, handles are left as a DSNP system-specific concern, see for example Frequency's handle system. Non-DSNP systems have different approaches to handles, such as DNS-rooted handles in AT Protocol.

What is the minimal level of specification within DSNP that would bring handles into the protocol?

  • Should handles be required to be universally unique addresses?
  • Can a universal namespace for handles be mandated without an assumption of there being a single consensus system?
  • Can the specification support a plurality of implementation approaches to handles?
  • Where do handles come into play in the spec? (Activity Content Note, Profile?)
