Have we really not yet standardized a “lttp:” protocol for linking to resources from The Wayback Machine? You know, a link to the past.

@rmondello I like the concept, but a few quirks that come to mind
1) how would you specify a target date for the url?
2) using a capital i or lowercase L leads to chaos — impossible for me to read IoT correctly in a sans-serif font.

@bramhill @rmondello perhaps the date could be passed as a user. lttp://[email protected]/path/to/oblivion

@chucker Given that WBM already has a date-specification syntax, with options for wildcards and (I think) date-ranging, this would be a sensible proposal.

I've been thinking for a bit now that URLs and especially domain names should have a date-specification, and that notions such as transfers, especially of personal domains, should be ... far less viable than they are now.

(Naming things is a Hard Problem, especially when it intersects with timey-wimey stuff.)
