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. S > >-- >perlhack
