Indeed the nature of the Web as an application likely doesn't have an exact analogy, but perhaps operating system is close, per my previous email to David. But, if architecture can be applied to applications, the web must be an application in order to be susceptible to architecture. So, in what ways do you see the Web as a system application? And why not a "user application" (how are they different)? Regards, Peter
