Hi Paul Thanks for the links - much appreciated. It's interesting to see how they have extended atom to include "query" actions and authentication. I could potentially add extra actions in there.
Putting stuff in a spreadsheet is interesting - you could have stuff channelling into columns. It reminds me a bit of Ted Nelson's ZigZag[1]. I'm yet to design an associative structure between things in the trail - but I'm imagining a sticky mess.
