A little PS. -

A mail [1]  just showed up in my inbox, referring to Matrix URIs [2],
an idea of Tim Berners-Lee's from 1996 and apparently back on the
desirable list. Here's an example:

[[
         //moremaps.com/map/color;lat=50;long=20;scale=32000

might be the URL of an automatically generated map.
]]

Looks rather n-ary, don'tya think?

What did we need XML for again..? ;-)

Cheers,
Danny.
