For more info, see... <URL:http://services.bunyip.com:8000/research/ietf/urn-bof/> It stikes me that this work, and the content negotiation stuff in HTTP 1.1, aren't necessarily mutually exclusive of any HTML tweaking. But... history suggests that it would inadvisable to try and do everything you suggest in HTML anchor/link tags. It would be very useful to establish at least a "standard" way of indicating multiple targets of a hyperlink. This could be done without any HTTP 1.1 deployment, URN/URC infrastructure, or tweaking of the URL format - and would be of undoubted benefit. Comments ? Martin
