Well, I know it's a pretty proprietary method of extending HTML, but it's the only way... other than using m12n to create some brand new extensible link type (er, XLink a la RDDL anyone?). Actually, I suppose using RDDL in this case would make a great deal of sense. <rddl:resource xlink:role="http://www.w3.org/DesignIssues/Notation3" xlink:arcrole="http://webns.net/mvcb/metadata" xlink:href="myNotation3.n3" xlink:title="My Notation3 file"> <a href="myNotation3.n3">N3</a> </rddl:resource> Ah, RDDL... > The remnant of a dying world, perhaps. Yeah, the world of text/html; as dead as the dodo :-) I'm *really* looking forward to XHTML 2.0, but I know it's going to have a slim target market at first... Still, it's got to beat what we have at the moment. As you said a little earlier on the same thread, if we all campaign for proper linking mechanisms that allow for very precise purposes and natures, we may just get what we want. > Where in the world did the idea of appending "#" to the > *end* of a URL come from? The humble FragID? Quite useful in that it identifies a concept defined by a particular piece of Web content, but annoying in that it is reliant upon MIME types. Eek. -- Kindest Regards, Sean B.
