If we're talking about keys found in other Freenet documents (ie hypertext) rather than through websites, graffiti, skywriting etc., then this overhead could be avoided in most cases if there was a way of adding simple metadata to links. I don't know if there's a way to do it in HTML, but I'm thinking of something like this: <img src="freenet:CHK at abcdefg" freenet_metadata="content-type:image/png foo:bar" alt="A picture"> This would avoid the need to retrieve metadata for anything except the first file accessed. It gives the linker the freedom to add whatever metadata they like, without creating duplicate copies of the data. But I don't know if you can do it in HTML.
