That would be ok if the web represented only an architecture used by the general public. But when used as an enterprise infrastructure, rights such as read only could play a part. It is fact that location types (not link types, one can separate these) are reliable in varying degrees. Depends on the application domain, yes. Reading the literature out of companies such as Microsoft, the intention is to web-ize everything, so a broader view of what is On the Web may be needed. len -----Original Message----- From: Mark Nottingham [mailto:mnot@mnot.net] I agree that such mechanisms are necessary in some systems; I dispute whether they should be part of the Web architecture. Linking where you have read-only rights isn't robust; unlike with the resource/URI relationship, there is no guidance, much less guarantee, that a representation's structure is stable over time.
