He asked what the Web would look like if it had been defined by vendors, and he suspected that it would have multiple addressing schemes - covering things like Lotus Notes, Blackbird, etc. He put forward the suggestion that the Web is superior because it has one approach to addressing: URIs. I tend to look at URIs and see a unified syntax but far too many underlying schemes. Slapping a label on a technology and calling it unified doesn't do much to genuinely unify it. We're still stuck in the same mess, unfortunately. -- Simon St.Laurent Ring around the content, a pocket full of brackets Errors, errors, all fall down! http://simonstl.com
