What more to do with it:
- Change all text about "discussion paper" to "experimental RFC"
- State that purpose is to gather experience with tagged links
- Delete or "make old" references to HTML 3.0, make sure the
document fits reasonably well with HTML 3.2 (I think ID got lost?)
- Include link styles for embedded stuff like Java scripts?
If I were running an experiment on this, I would also add something
stronger than the current "maybe, maybe not" language, something like:
A browser that wishes to participate in this experiment should:
- Display a toolbar listing all LINK elements from the document head
while viewing a document, with style depending on their REL and/or
REV values
- Provide some means (for instance a button-3 popup) for viewing
the information associated with a link, including the target
URL and the REL and REV values
- Somehow differentiate display of links with REL/REV on them from
links without those values. (Color?)
It's nice to tell whether someone is playing the game or not,
ESPECIALLY if it's an experiment - it's hard to tell if the experiment
was a success if you can't identify the players, so it actually makes
sense to apply stricter conformance to an Experimental RFC than to
a standards-track one.....
(Note - if you want a BOF on this subject in San Jose in December, you'll
have to apply Real Soon Now - I have an awful lot of WGs coming up....)
