" Possibly the example chosen (printers) isn't the best for making your point. I see your point theoretically. I just don't see it in the example. The problem may start with, "It's relatively easy to motivate giving the printer its own URI". Actually I'd say it's incredibly easy and obvious to do so, and I'd go quite a bit further than that. I'd say "It's relatively easy to motivate giving the printer its own IP address." The separate URIs per printer falls out of that very naturally. Again, I think I see what you're trying to say. I just don't think the printer example is the best instantiation of that. -- Elliotte Rusty Harold elharo@metalab.unc.edu Java I/O 2nd Edition Just Published! http://www.cafeaulait.org/books/javaio2/ http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ISBN=0596527500/ref=nosim/cafeaulaitA/
