Mitigation is always the first smart step, the network effect of that is positive. The next step should be to cure the disease. Isolation will be the first step because the risks of having some systems blown off the air by easy and stupid means are too great. What does REST contribute to the concept of transport agnostic formats? Can we do that if we are stuffing HTTP namespace names everywhere? Does REST care? 1. Not much. REST lives above the transport format. 2. Yes, but it will be confusing. 3. HTTP shouldn't care about TCP/IP vulerabilities, but tunneling through systems can exploit this, yes? I'm not a network wonk. But I may have to become one just to answer these rose colored glassed RFPs. len From: David Megginson [mailto:dmeggin@a...] Bullard, Claude L (Len) wrote: > one should look at the middle ages during the plagues when those that > could left the cities and formed closed enclaves to save what they could > of their own resources.

From what I recall of my limited reading, the areas with the lowest mortality rates from the Black Death were the big northern Italian cities like Milan, which had effective governments who introduced good sanitation and public health measures. Retreating from the cities was not a very useful way of dealing with the plague, especially since the bubonic version was not transmitted directly from person to person. To the late-medieval mind, simply cleaning up the streets and providing clean water and a clean living environment must have seemed like a stupid and easy approach compared to mass public pennance, pilgrimages to holy sites, retreat into the country, pogroms against Jewish residents, etc., but it often cut the death toll in half all the same.
