I love natural language processing too. It is useful, though it doesn't solve everything (except maybe in an English centric world.) où Napoleon http://www.google.com/search?hl=fr&client=safari&rls=fr-fr&q=où+napoleon&btnG=Rechercher&lr = どこ ナポレオン http://www.google.com/search?hl=fr&client=safari&rls=fr-fr&q=どこ ナポレオン&btnG=Rechercher&lr= Or maybe I was just talking about Napoleon in the Marcel Pagnol's novel. > Why is that a better solution than just having the user say "no, I > meant > the animal"?: > > http://www.google.com/search?q=what+python+animal You are giving the answer in your question. "What is a python?"… the possible answers * an animal? * a group of movie directors? * a programming language? Now in French "Qu'est-ce qu'un python ?" http://www.google.com/search?hl=fr&client=safari&rls=fr-fr&q=Qu%27est-ce+qu%27un+python+%3F&btnG=Rechercher&lr= And with your choice of putting the answer Qu'est-ce qu'un python ? animal http://www.google.com/search?hl=fr&client=safari&rls=fr-fr&q=Qu%27est-ce+qu%27un+python+%3F+animal&btnG=Rechercher&lr= Note that here we are in plain rhetorical exercise. Having more structured data in a Web page helps to create application on top of others for people who need it. It is entirely possible that Ian Hickson doesn't need it. No issue with that. I very rarely use javascript myself or cookies, but I do understand some people need it. -- Karl Dubost Montréal, QC, Canada
