The thing is, this use case does have everything to do with the HTTP protocol and HTTP GET and/or POST. The proposal still sends the data over HTTP, not over some new protocol they've invented. On the server side there'd be no difference between the feed scheme and the http scheme, and very little on the client. Therefore the HTTP architecture applies. The mailto example is not relevant or analogous here because mailto uses completely different protocols with their own architecture. -- Elliotte Rusty Harold elharo@metalab.unc.edu Effective XML (Addison-Wesley, 2003) http://www.cafeconleche.org/books/effectivexml http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ISBN%3D0321150406/ref%3Dnosim/cafeaulaitA
