+# Proposal
+
+Drop the criteria that the constant "sigsum/v0" must be after a log's URL and
+before a named endpoint.  This does not change the definition of a log URL, but
+does mean "<endpoint>" is appended to it rather than "sigsum/v0/<endpoint>".
+
+# Motivation
+
+  - Protocol and version does not change for an active log and it should already
+    be communicated to clients via policy.
+  - A log operator that wants to specify protocol and/or version as part of
+    their URL can still do so, either in their domain name or the optional path.
