It has been the case in the past that the annotations server [1] and algae interface [3] did not require authentication when reading annotations. The policy may have been drafted to reflect that. However, I think it is more likely that the policy reflects the fact that anyone may go through the same account application process and, assuming I don't break the server again, get access to any annotations you make. I believe the distinction between unathenticated and authenticated, but anyone may have an account, is insignificant from a polity viewpoint. > My W3C member access password does not work.

We have the ability to create a member server if there is general interest. > [1] http://annotest.w3.org/access > [2] http://annotest.w3.org/policy.html [3] http://annotest.w3.org/algae -- -eric (eric@w3.org) Feel free to forward this message to any list for any purpose other than email address distribution.
