| I still think we should avoid PUBLIC. I have yet to see any clear | examples that require it. Paul Prescod has come close, with a | teaching environment using SGML where the students don't have network | access, but it is not clear to me that that example applies to a | version of SGML developed especially for web use. In other words, the | requests for PUBLIC seem to come from SGML users rather than Web | users, and stem largely from backwards compatibility. Jon's system at | Sun is interesting, but could equally well be done with URLs as far as | I can see. No. The whole system depends on the links being specified in terms of location-independent names. That's how they continue to work even when the usual source of a document goes down or the document is moved to another server. Jon
