A little PS. - A mail [1] just showed up in my inbox, referring to Matrix URIs [2], an idea of Tim Berners-Lee's from 1996 and apparently back on the desirable list. Here's an example: [[ //moremaps.com/map/color;lat=50;long=20;scale=32000 might be the URL of an automatically generated map. ]] Looks rather n-ary, don'tya think? What did we need XML for again..? ;-) Cheers, Danny.
