I think that anything too abstract (a bit like the stuff Seth and I regularly communicate to each other in Semenglish/N3) is probably best linked to from the file (a la C.F.M.), whereas generic applications are best shoved in the files themselves. Screen scraping is also an option, but it's a bit hacky. I still believe that a Dublin Core module for XHTML m12n would be a good start, as would a W3C metadata profile for a "meta" link type. If people want to start building proprietary garbage at the same time, then please be my guest, but beware of the "it works for me" syndrome :-) -- Kindest Regards, Sean B.
