Continuing Conversations:
-------

Brian Moseley weighed in on the Cosmo URL schemes.  He wants to  
tackle this in 0.6.   He wants the url namespace to fall out of the  
1.0 UI design.  In addition to some discusion of UI related schemes,  
he also brought up the issue of protocol specific subschemes, such  
as /cmp, /atom, /gdata, and /dav

In response to Mikeal Rogers call for bugs to push out of 0.5,  Randy  
Letness, Brian Moseley and Bobby Rullo discussed Cosmo's handling of  
two HTTP PUTs to the same resource.   For the moment, we are going to  
handle this by improving our 500 Internal Error handling (right now  
we generate a huge stack trace) so that we can get a better idea of  
how often this is happening.   The longer term solution is to  
implement if-none-match/412 - Precondition Failed handling, but this  
requires more machinery and thought.
