I would personally rather see something like this:

Preserving both content-based addressing as well as location-based addressing and text fragment linking.

@prologic While it might work if you want to keep both, I think the point was to be able to use one or the other, if we still have to generate the hash anyway it might be pointless to use this format.

@alexonit My problem is I don't see a world where we don't employ some form of cryptography to use as keys for threads in databases and other such things honestly. I'm not going to use url#timestamp as keys.

@prologic Well, personally I would, as I already do for user feeds in my client.

That's why part of my proposal was to allow custom strings and be free from a specific format that need periodical upgrades, but it's not much of a problem in the end.

I'll adapt to what we can get out of this.

@alexonit Well we have to really use the same spec or threading doesn't really work in a truly decentralized manner 😉
