It's a problem... not a new one.  People who want to dive into
this pool might want to check up on the history of net hypertext
before TimBL made it work precisely by discarding this requirement,
and the further sad history of various UR* efforts in the ietf
wending their way down the trail to dusty death.

Mind you, anyone who solves this in the general case will get
their name up in lights. -Tim
