I think the web neuron idea is interesting. I would suggest building something, as a proof of concept. I don't think you'll get a lot of support for standardizing the idea until you can demonstrate that it's an effective tool (that is, Turing completeness alone is not enough - nobody writes programs for Turing machines). scott -- scott preece motorola/mcg urbana design center 1101 e. university, urbana, il 61801 phone: 217-384-8589 fax: 217-384-8550 internet mail: preece@urbana.mcd.mot.com
