Add HTTP header "X-OpenHandle" (or "X-Open-Handle" ?) with value of what?

This would make it easy to verify that the service is an OpenHandle service.

What should be the value though? One could just give the handle which
manages all registered OpenHandle services:

hdl:10100/openhandle

Any other ideas? 

The bug reported here is for RDF/XML with ampersands not turned into
entities. See
[http://nascent.nature.com/openhandle/handle?id=10.2277/0521853575&format=rdf&mi
metype=application/xml
here].

But should review generally how to escape the data values for each
respective  serialization: really just XML (RDF/XML) or string (RDF/N3, JSON).

To add HTTP content negotiation.

Add a file changed strategy to the openhandle configuration so that changes
can be made (e.g. templates added etc) at runtime without the requirement
for rebuild and redeploy.

Better treatment of error handling.

Currently an XML doument with status is returned irrespective of format
requested.

Add template for JSONP to support cross-domain downloading of JSON.

Basically just a dup of the JSON template with surrounding "(", ")" chars.

Issues: file extesnion (.jsonp"?) and mimetype (different from JSON mimetype?).

Add XSD datatypes option. The "include=datatypes" parameter may altre

RDF/XML - see [
http://www.w3.org/TR/rdf-syntax-grammar/#section-Syntax-datatyped-literals
RDF Syntax, 2.9]

<ex:size rdf:datatype="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#int">123</ex:size>

RDF/N3

ex:size 123^^xsd:int

JSON

?? Not sure what to put here. Maybe something like:

"datatype" : "xsd:int"

Add web form at service endpoint if no parameters are specified, same as
for hdl.handle.net

Use hdl.handle.net form for user familiarity with suitable mods for extra
parameters, e.g. serialization required, as well as branding and contact
details.

Change timestamp to ISO 8601 form for compact formats. (Leave in current
long form for non-compact formats.)

Add parameter "compact" (value would be ??) to querystring and make it
visible in templates to allow serving up both full or compact forms.

The "type" parameter does not seem to work.

So,

...?index=2

does work

whereas

...?type=URL nor ...?type=url

does not. Suggest anyway that type values be made *case insensitive*.

Add "text" format which will serialize in simple OpenHandle "Hello World"
format.
