TINT dot

TINT dot is one representation of a TINT.

Current default is TINT- and TINT/ for folders. TINT\ for folders on Windows.

TINT. was not recommended until now.

e.g.

• 07798108080248-2-8
• 07798108080248.2.8

Characteristics compared to TINT dash

• in url and files names less different chars are used, no "-" here anymore:
  • e.g. https://tango.info/07798108080248.2.8.flac
• sub-object representation more like in some programming languages
• there is only one dot, the word is better known to non-English natives. Dashes exist several and one can see a wrong dash without noticing it is a wrong one.
• no new line in html documents

Disadvantages

• current usage differs
  • one more style, switiching costs

Advantages

• TINT dot may help to stop usage of "-" for tango.info identifiers completely, as e.g. ISO 8601 in the compact form is YYYYMMDD.
