This sort of thing was discussed at a recent W3C workshop. See: http://www.w3.org/pub/WWW/Search/9605-Indexing-Workshop/ and in particular: http://www.w3.org/pub/WWW/Search/9605-Indexing-Workshop/ReportOutcomes/index.html >As for how to get webmasters to follow a convention (no small >problem), I think right now that a few commercial folks like >Yahoo and AltaVista have 10x more power than W3C does to make >that happen. If Yahoo used this one feature to keep its >links up to date, I think everyone would follow. That's why we got the search vendors in the room to hash this stuff out! Dan
