Just the same as the SW/LD or whatever browser. In fact, the WWW browser well may have done quite a lot of stuff and accessed a bunch of other documents before deciding what it shows me and how. And there are other applications that do fancy things with URLs before showing me stuff. Of course I can resolve either "WWW URLs" or "SW URIs" using lower level GETs, but then the behaviour is pretty much the same. So I don't think discussion of the behaviour of different people's concepts of just what a SW browser might be/do sheds any light on ownership of URIs. Best Hugh
