[Nfd-dev] Name component format

[Burke, Jeff]

Hi,

There are a few changes to the representation of names in the TLV spec (http://named-data.net/doc/NDN-TLV/0.2/name.html)  that I am not sure have been widely discussed.  In particular, the introduction of types (beyond distinguishing the implicit digest), an updated URI representation, and the inability to specify empty name components.

Are these considered "baked"? Would it be possible to discuss these at some point in more detail?

Among other things, typing components unless required by the protocol (as seems to be the case with the implicit hash) seems to run counter to the notion of name opaqueness, and there are some conflicts in the URI representation that need to be resolved.

Thanks,
Jeff
