In section 2.3.1, it states that it is good practice to "Avoid URI aliases". However, many sites (including W3C) enjoy the practice of utilising URIs for version control over documents. Like the Web Architecture document itself with: This version: http://www.w3.org/TR/2004/WD-webarch-20040705/ Latest version: http://www.w3.org/TR/webarch/ Previous version: http://www.w3.org/TR/2003/WD-webarch-20031209/ Obviously, the first two URIs are aliases. And on the 9th Dec 2003, the last two URIs were also aliases. And, interestingly, depending on the day of the year, the middle URI could return one of many different (versions) of the document. I've found the above practice quite acceptable (so does W3C and many others?). So, why is there a "practice" against it? Cheers Renato Iannella http://renato.iannella.it
