Right.

And if they don't get the joke, well... a thread 
will be spawned or appended and yet another polity 
will emerge.

If we had to wear t-shirts signifying which sides 
we were on in any given week on XML-Dev, could your 
closet hold all of them? :-)

I have never done such a thing. Why on earth would I?

Which is fine. But the internetwork topology is the medium which facilitates
publishing while allowing what is published to be stated in the local terms of its
creation. If you don't want to be noticed, don't publish. You can accomplish that
negative goal either by offering nothing or by offering something only to a limited
group bound, presumably, by a body of shared semantics. The internetwork topology is
the vehicle for something very different--publication of your local understandings
in your local terms to a worldwide audience which presumably does not share
semantics specifically local to you.
