Actually there's some interesting stuff happening in the IETF that might help here, under the auspices of the URN working group: look for DDDS stuff. http://www.ietf.org/html.charters/urn-charter.html One proposed DDDS mechanism uses DNS NAPTR records to map an input string to an arbitrary URI. This is currently being used for telephone number mapping (http://www.ietf.org/html.charters/enum-charter.html) but is applicable to other kinds of URL discovery. #g ------------ Graham Klyne (GK@ACM.ORG)
