Thanks, I did see that, but it didn't immediately bring to my mind redirections. It seemed more a bit of general info for the UA or intermediates. I didn't even get from it a sense that, say, a browser UA should update the URL bar with the URI from C-L rather than the requested URL, which I would think as a requisite action in any redirection scenario. It does say that the C-L URI should become the base URI of the document, but this still seems too weak a stipulation for use in redirections scenarios. And now, bu mentioning content negotiation, you've caused an even deeper fog about my head. I'm also quite sure how to associate C-L with either content negotiation in general (which I think of as getting a gif or png, as preferred, from the *same* URL), and redirects from ".../" URIs to ".../index.html" URLs (which seem more to me as general short-cut support than anything to do with clarifying ambiguity or negotiating content). -- Uche Ogbuji Fourthought, Inc. uche.ogbuji@fourthought.com http://fourthought.com http://4Suite.org http://uche.ogbuji.net Track chair, XML/Web Services One (San Jose, Boston): http://www.xmlconference.com/ RDF Query using Versa - http://www-106.ibm.com/developerworks/xml/library/x-thi nk10/index.html WSDL and the Wild, Wild West - http://adtmag.com/article.asp?id=6004 XML, The Model Driven Architecture, and RDF @ XML Europe - http://www.xmleurope.com/2002/kttrack.asp#themodel
