When following discussions on content negociation and similiar issues, I often reflect as to whether it would be a good idea to allow meta data to be embedded in the anchor when a document is retrieved so that if a link is to a docuemnt is several formats, the user could xxx-click on the link and get a menu displayed of the available formats. Most requests must be made by users clicking on a link. Having meta data available as part of the link could help to negate some of the complexity of negociation. My limited use of Gopher+ has shown this to be very useful. You get to specify your general preferences but still have the option of easily fetching an alternate representation.
