Hmm..interesting idea.  One could conceptually model HTTP as being sort
of like a space based system.  But lack of transaction support, the
read-only tendancy of the web, and the representative state transfer
would make the mapping rather ugly.  Then again, I've got no problem
with replacing HTTP with a linda-spaces type system :P

Has anyone done a spaces type system using only HTTP and XML yet? 
That'd be a fun little project...
