I was
checking into domains, as we've been writing things like dfdl.org into example
code and slideware.
dfdl.org is owned by some
french or swiss foundation.. As a result dfdl.com/.net are owned by some
web-name extorter. (For any .org name you'll find highly likely that the .com
and .net of the same name are reserved by some company which will charge to sell
it to you.)
dataformat.com/.net is owned and in use by a
company based in florida. However, amazingly dataformat.org is available,
so I've asked Ascential to park this domain. That is, reserve it, to
avoid anyone else grabbing it out from under us. When the right time comes we'll
transfer this domain to whomever the right organization is.
So if
you are noodling around in xml e.g., creating things like
<appinfo
source="...">
lines, you can put http://dataformat.org in as the source;
however, don't put dfdl.org in there, since that's a known and used domain name,
and we want to stay out of brand/name/controversy.
