IIUC, the problem is that there are two kinds of neighborhood here: the local file system neighborhood and the local (= current) Web server neighborhood. Unfortunately, it isn't allowed to have separate base URIs for the file: and http: schemes. -- John Cowan <cowan@ccil.org> http://ccil.org/~cowan Micropayment advocates mistakenly believe that efficient allocation of resources is the purpose of markets. Efficiency is a byproduct of market systems, not their goal. The reasons markets work are not because users have embraced efficiency but because markets are the best place to allow users to maximize their preferences, and very often their preferences are not for conservation of cheap resources. --Clay Shirkey
