I can't see this adding too many benefits. I never thought that URL's were supposed to carry data-- that's quite unintuitive. With an open client/server model annotation system, the annotations do not necessarily live on the same server, anyway. >I also would like this working group recussitates.

Dan works with the w3c, I hope he can give us some guidance. How would the w3c take action in a case like this? Contact the software developers and say, "We have a good feeling that this technology will be standardized some day, we'd like to work with you to help that process." Jon
