Mark Nottingham>> Of course; the point I was trying to make is that avoiding a roundtrip isn't going to motivate a whole new technology, at least one that's so specialised. It really doesn't seem to be that specialized to me. URLs are used ubiquitously, and a widespread implementation of URI Templates such as in HTML5 could empower the use of URI Templates in so many different contexts where they would have value. As an aside, I'm beginning to understand that the people who get their concerns addressed in the WG are the ones with the most stamina. :) >> If you define it as declarative markup and implement it for the browsing case with JavaScript, non-JS clients (e.g., robots) can still use the declarative markup, if they're aware of it. True, but the point is that nobody is going to code something when the number of those aware of it are <1% given that w/o Javascript it isn't possible to do it any other way. >> Carl Cargill did a good job in "Open Systems Standardization": Very cool, it's on order. Thanks. -Mike
