Several folk have attempted to send large attachments
(variously .ZIP files, huge .XLS files, .PDF files) to this
distribution list.   While we could increase the permitted
attachment size if folk in the IG really want these files
in your mailbox, another alternative is available:

The distribution list www-archive@w3.org permits much
larger attachments.  The primary purpose of www-archive
is to serve as a URI-generator for any Web-related content
you care to send in mail.  You can send your large files
there and then retrieve the URI for the attachment, which
you can then cite in mail to public-semweb-archive.

This method allows those who want to retrieve the
file to do so and not fill the mailboxes of those who
may not be immediately interested.
