Re: Fw: Re: CONSISTIENT ID, MULTIPLE WAYS, & LINK PURPOSE (2.4.4), ON FOCUS, AND ONINPUT

David and Richard, are you forgetting that the target link already has the information in place. Since the target link already has this in place, why should I be held responsible to revise my text link since there are no downloable documents on my own site.?

Which server it is on is a technical detail of the addressing structure and not really relevant to the concepts behind the web.  In fact, the key thing that makes the web different from earlier hypertext is that cross-server links are treated the same as within document links (apart from some short hand - relative URLs - in the addressing).

that is no longer good advice, as archive address hiding may not work.
