Re: The Object Oriented Web

I agree with your analysis Renato, though I am as excited as Manuel is 
about thinking the web in ways we haven´t done so before. The best 
conclusion I can offer is that while most humans are not really concious 
of the rules of their learnt languages, but barely aware of it (instinct 
helps there), machines still need to know these rules from a to z to be 
able to work / communicate with other machines.

We still have a long way to go to get to that place where 
"Omnius"(Herbert's Dune Prequel Series) is possible.
