   The Strunk and White Elements of Style for the literary form that is the web’s namespace hasn’t really been written yet, but Tim Berners-Lee’s 1998 essay belongs in that genre. So does the Richardson and Ruby book RESTful Web Services which, as I noted in my review, recommends that URIs use forward slashes to encode hierarchy (/parent/child), commas to encode ordered siblings (/parent/child1,child2), and semicolons to encode unordered siblings (/parent/red;green). We can, and we should, think and act in principled ways about the web namespaces we create.
