The fact that it seemed so natural and obvious to do this in the innocent pre-HTTP-14 days should give us all pause, however. Why SHOULD putting a Web page in the obvious Web place be considered to be making ANY kind of ontological statement? Perhaps it shouldn't. In fact, I'm pretty sure it doesn't, outside the TAG meetings and maybe three or four offices in MIT.
