> Without GET you don't have hyperlinking. This is very debatable. HyperText s roughly defined as traversing an information resource in a pattern different from that of it's inherent structure. You don't need GET for that, what you need is a traversal function.... more like a MOVETO or JUMPTO. I don't need to GET a page, because I already have the data. It's also important to remember that hyperlinks, in a general sense, are much richer than GET typically allows. In some cases, window placement of all applications on a desktop might be an important part of the link. For example, I have a background picture using a mazda 626 and bring up a browser with a picture of a ford taurus. In this case, the environment is an important thing if I'm discussing how I discovered the similarity.
