Cut me some slack, Terry :) I'm not assuming anything. I'm suggesting that on a voluntary basis it would be nice for the HTTP-object to be able to also express to the browser/viewer that various SOAPs/global annotations have been applied to it. I dunno, maybe I'm in the minority, but it would seem to be a crucial step in making the web chmod a+w. :) I'll go read some more of the URI archives and the scenerios document again.
