oh, well that definitely isn't what i misinterpreted it to mean :)

what is the reason not to require access to irrelevant information?
i guess it's implementation simplicity...

i think my concern is "they declared". I treated that is a "link" and
read the block to mean that the host would "resolve the link" on
retrieval.

declare: foo=get_data_from(http://somewhere)

means: retrieve(foo)

result:
  data from somewhere is loaded

your goal:
  "get_data_from(http://somewhere)"
