>I have a number of comments on this draft.  I also plan to post comments 
>on the two other handle drafts, draft-irtf-idrm-handle-system-def-00.txt 
>and draft-irtf-idrm-handle-system-protocol-00.txt.  I'll start with 
>draft-irtf-idrm-handle-system-00.txt comments, a couple at a time since my 
>other questions and comments may be resolved along the way.

>My first comment is that there does not seem to be name-resolution draft 
>in the mix.  Is this not to be published?  I can see a lot of uses for a 
>namespace that is not global, such as between a content provider 
>(publisher) and service provider (distributor) that want to use the 
>metadata facilities of handles to store rights information with the 
>content work and to identify one or more "official repositories" for the 
>content work.  If you're requiring a global namespace but not publishing 
>the resolution mechanisms, then this seems to be an impediment to many 
>business-to-business uses.
