I think you may give corporations more credit for their security than they deserve, but see below. >most of the information stored in the world is held in corporate repositories, >and those repositories lie behind those damn corporate firewalls, >which won't be allowing peer-to-peer communication >to occur willy-nilly any time soon. Actually, it seems like most of the information stored in the world is sent around as emails these days, and the corporate repositories only contain certain categories of information. Firewalls may block some kinds of peer-to-peer communication, but there's still plenty of room inside the firewall for peer-to-peer to make sense within an organization rather than across organizations. >given that, >it's hard to see how a peer-to-peer system >could be shaped any differently than >the way the web works now..... It's pretty easy, actually, given how simple it is to get information across a firewall within the bounds allowed for existing email and Web traffic. Those infrastructures aren't hard to repurpose for 'rogue' peer-to-peer operations. Simon St.Laurent XML Elements of Style / XML: A Primer, 2nd Ed.
