Hmmm... in the IETF conneg work, we came up with a device for identifying feature sets using a name based on a hash of the corresponding feature set [2] (based on [3]). This gives potential for self-validating caches of feature descriptions. #g -- [1] http://www.w3.org/TR/P3P/ [2] http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2938.txt [3] http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2533.txt ------------------- Graham Klyne <GK@NineByNine.org>
