Re: Question about the On Linking Alternative Representations TAG Finding

Ted,

The whole argument is sort of scattered through the thread and I'm not  
sure (doubt, actually) if all disagreements were resolved.

I suggest that if you want to take this forward, then you should draft  
something (bullet points at least), put it online somewhere and ask  
for comments.

I think a key points is that the document needs to make clear what it  
is trying to achieve. A clarification of Web architecture? A  
recommendation how to solve a particular problem using the modelling  
primitives of the Web/HTTP? What are the technical requirements for a  
solution?

It is also important to be extra-clear with terminology, as we have  
seen in the thread. For best results, include a glossary ;-)

Best,
Richard
