Comment on URLs Are The Uniform Way to Locate Resources

I don't see why the json format that he mentioned couldn't easily be made uniform through standard keys (protocol, port, host, path ... etc)

It could — I'm doing something kind of similar with a DNS service I'm building. It has an HTTP interface which amongst other things exposes DNS-SD services (which include host, protocol, port and service-specific key-value pairs).

We could do that but I can't think of any benefits. Not to say there aren't any, but the obvious negatives would likely outweigh them 100:1.
