At the risk of degenerating into a purely philosophical debate, I'm not sure I agree that the "tv:" URL doesn't describe an "image." The television I agree with Dan: I believe that the "tv:" concept describes an image (stream). The problem is that it doesn't describe a _unique_ image (stream). In other words, the image shown on my set may be different from the image shown on your set. On the other hand, it's so insane useful (i.e., it fits as the target of "src=" tags just where you want it and in ways that a <tv> tag would not) that I can see a justification that the UR* gods (whoever they are, probably the authors of RFC 2396) might want to grant a dispensation here. In any event, I totally agree that we need some way to refer to the current tv image. Until we hear from the UR* gods, I'm not convinced that a UR* is the best way (nor am I convinced that it is not). None of the above arguments apply to the channel number form. Craig
