Well, since a "document" is the smallest thing to transfer, you never really want "part of a document". What you seem to want is to get different documents depending on your preferences. Of course, advertisers *want* you to see their stuff, so they're unlikely to label it as "advertisement" or the home VCR manufacturers would already have invented a reliable commercial-zapper. If you're talking about KidCode and the ability to see different documents based on your age, it's not inconceivable that a URL of the form http://.../blah/KidCode.any/blah.html could be made with the understanding that a KidCode browser would fill in the age for "any" and get different documents as appropriate. This still wouldn't require any changes to servers (if you were willing to make a bunch of symlinks), but I think *this* is getting too complicated to implement quickly. ---Darren
