Related to the TAG's work on publishing and linking on the Web, I read the following with some alarm in this morning's paper: http://nyti.ms/17Qdf8H #RightToLink is trending on Twitter in relation to this. Wendy – the TAG made an attempt to tackle this space in order to provide fodder for a "friend of the court" document for cases such as this. The result was the following: http://www.w3.org/TR/publishing-linking/ …which unfortunately did not go far enough (in my view) in articulating a connection between linking and freedom of expression. In this case reported in the NY Times, considering the "chilling effect" of the legal restriction of linking, does it make sense for W3C to weigh in, and if so could we adapt some of the thinking in this document to do so, from a perspective of clarifying Web architecture. Thanks, Dan Appelquist TAG Co-Chair
