Hohum. I guess I'm just bored of the idea of local inclusion. :)
What's the most compelling use case for this kind of trick? I guess the remote stuff is what interests men especially if you have an AJAX pipe from one site to another, piping anchored data bewtween them, you could do some pretty power stuff with entirely arbitrary sources of data. But you're right, most of my points on this topic have been OT, if we're locally scoped. Chris On 7/10/06, Ryan King <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:

In what ways do those scripting languages treat hypertext references as "local content"? -ryan _______________________________________________ microformats-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://microformats.org/mailman/listinfo/microformats-discuss
