Re: Persistent caches -

Yes, a hierarchy of XML files on the web will of course work.
You might find though that as a scalable replicated system
the DNS has had many years of engineering put in! :)

Talk to Paul Mockapetris! In fact, discuss the whole thing in the
appropriate IETF fora if they still exist.

We can also do W3C stuff in this area if it is necessary.
Larry Masinter has proposed we cover the URI area -- we will
have an interest group at least for the time being according to plan A.
