There's a famous essay by Tim Berners-Lee, creator of the World Wide Web, entitled "Cool URIs Don't Change": http://www.w3.org/Provider/Style/URI.html (I'm not sure if that's at the same URI it was at when first posted in 1998.) Incidentally, the popular use of "URL" when that's long been deprecated in favor of "URI" by the "web standards geeks" parallels the similar continued use of the long-deprecated GMT abbreviation, usually referencing what is now actually UTC. -- == Dan == Dan's Mail Format Site: http://mailformat.dan.info/ Dan's Web Tips: http://webtips.dan.info/ Dan's Domain Site: http://domains.dan.info/ _______________________________________________ LEAPSECS mailing list [email protected] http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/leapsecs
