    Subject: Meta-acronyms

Gang:
I'd like to propose another acronym to indicate metainformation on the
acronyms we are creating:

GURGLE: Generic Uniform Reference to General Locator Expressions

The GURGLE consists of repeated fields of acronyms and metainformation about
the acronyms. The acronyms tend to stay the same, but the metainformation
about them , such as functionality, syntax, semantics, etc. tends to
change rapidly and at times even be multi-valued. Thus there needs to be
a GURGLER (GURGLE Resover) to map a GURGLE into its metainformation. I
propose the use of X.500 (1996) for this function.

For your consideration :^)
Chris
