You could argue that, for the average citizen, data-gathering by state security services is a write-only memory. Likewise, any situation where information is captured that is intended to be read only be third-parties, not by the capturer him/her self. Trojan-horse keystroke loggers would be an example (not that you'd choose to invoke such a service from a UDDI registry :-) Cheers, Ian Ian Dickinson HPLabs, Bristol, UK
