[Ken Holman:] | In short, is see no benefit difference _to the end user_ between our | "+//ISBN 1-55160" and Jon's "-//SUN::SUNSOFT" because in both cases | the end user has the opportunity to implement their client-side | indirection however they need to without impacting on the (assumed) | sacrosanct SGML files. | | If this client-side-resolved indirection dereferences PUBLIC values to | URLs or internet-resolved URN/URIs or absolute filename specifications | or relative filename specifications or SQL queries or DMS copy-out | procedures or JCL tape mount directives or even some future | yet-to-be-determined-or-standardized query mechanism, the SGML files | remain inviolable. | | Isn't this inviolability critically important to people who want to | invest in their data for the long term? My thanks to Ken for making my point better than I was making it. This is what I was trying to say. Jon
