Its a patent almost synonymous with any labelling/indexing/heirarchical
structure.  That it exists at all is another example of the mindlessness of
the U.S. Patent Office, or its lack of funding depending on one's
charitable outlook.  I would think that buried within Netscape would be
significant prior art to the date of Patent to laugh any claim away.

It should be ignored as a matter of policy.
