Actually, it seems that the real issue here is whether resources are just data objects or whether they also include network services such as Telnet, SMTP and News. URLs in the mailto: and telnet: namespaces do not retrieve data objects but do invoke services. URLs in the news: or nntp: namespaces can have semantics of either type, depending on whether the namespace specific string is a newsgroup name or a message ID. --- gjw@wnetc.com / http://www.wnetc.com/home.html If you're going to reinvent the wheel, at least try to come to come up with a better one.
