Re: New W3C Notes on Push Protocol by Marimba et. al.

In an email exchange with the authors of (one of) the W3C Note(s),
I made the following observation, which I thought I would share
more broadly:

I suggest people look at these documents and think about the
relationship of 'push' (one to many) and email (and netnews post) of
MHTML.
