Just As God Intended. :-) I'm not sure what the point of this subthread is ... if it's to deny that "The Web" exists because it can't be unambiguously defined, then that leads to all sorts of black holes. (Does "Len Bullard" exist since he consists of a different set of cells than he did when his parents named him? Where EXACTLY is the canonical set of neurons and synpses that define the one and only Len Bullard? If it turns out that the "Len Bullard" who posts here is really just an AI experiment that the "real" Len Bullard created to give him time to do his day job, do they both exist?) <grin> If it is to suggest that all the wailing and gnashing about preserving the purity of the Web Architecture is misdirected energy, because "The Web" is a fuzzy set of all sorts of ideas and technologies that more or less interoperate most of the time, then I'm inclined to agree.
