Jim,
One of the arguments in favor of Job-URI has been that the HTTP
redirect can be used if the job is moved. However, why can't server
notification be used when a job is moved. The client can indicate
an interest if the job is moved as a job event and can update its
tables with the new location? So notification would be an alternative
for allowing jobs to move even if we didn't have job-URI for jobs.
I'm still catching up on this job-URI vs. job-id debate and have not
formed a final opinion.
