Specification Implementation

[Thomas R. Jones]

Hello,

At what point must we begin to implement the newest specification? Is
there a conversion algorithm or toolkit to evaluate the 1.0
specification?

I have many, many identifiers in queue which will need conversion.
Honestly, I have been far too busy with other tasks and completely
missed the specification 2.0 discussions and research. However, the
changes are apparently vast and greatly affect previous developments
in-house with respect to my own sources implementing specification 1.0.

I had started development with the hopes of helping the community
at-large, but seemingly I may have just shot myself in the foot. Too
little --- too late? Do I start with a clean slate or just abandon
altogether?

I'm sure we can work out a conversion.  It should be pretty straight
forward for any name that specifies only a single part.  Just a find
and replace.  For example:

cpe://abcd

would become

cpe:/o:abcd

I can try to help with this if needed.

Thanks
Drew
