All,
The W3C Technical Architecture Group (TAG) has published yesterday an approved
finding: The use of Metadata in URIs.
    https://www.w3.org/2001/tag/doc/metaDataInURI-31
Abstract:
    This finding addresses several questions regarding Uniform Resource Identifiers (URIs).
    Specifically, what information about a resource can or should be embedded in its URI?
    What metadata can be reliably determined from a URI, and in what circumstances is it
    appropriate to rely on the correctness of such information? In what circumstances is it
    appropriate to use information from a URI as a hint as to the nature of a resource or its
    representations? Simple examples are used to explain the tradeoffs involved in
    employing such metadata in URIs.
Publication of this finding closes the TAG issue metadataInURI-31 [1], as resolved during
the last TAG face-to-face meeting [2].
Additional TAG findings, both approved and in draft state, are also available at
