If we're only after a unique identifier we could use the longitude and latitude of the house where I live. In fact that would be better, because it identifies a unique place, whereas the "http:" idea also says you can get there by bus and the buses are run by the host.net bus company: in fact it invites you to "click here" to jump on the bus. But if you get on the bus and ask for the destination the driver will tell you "Never heard of it, guv." And of course it ignores the fact that you can have two buses going to the same place from different directions. Just because Namespaces made this mistake (and confused all newbies by doing so) doesn't mean we have to as well. Mike Kay xml-dev: A list for W3C XML Developers. To post, mailto:xml-dev@i...
