In an email exchange with the authors of (one of) the W3C Note(s), I made the following observation, which I thought I would share more broadly: > The problem that the MHTML working group was trying to solve -- > how to email a web document, including references, from one > place to the other -- is actually not so different than the problem > that we're trying to solve with "push" technology. You could think of an > email message as a one-to-one 'push'. > > RFC 2111 defined the cid: and mid: URL schemes for content-ID > and message ID, RFC 2112 defined 'multipart/related' as a carrier > for a package of HTML+embedded links, and RFC 2110 defined > the email carrier. I suggest people look at these documents and think about the relationship of 'push' (one to many) and email (and netnews post) of MHTML. Larry
