My reply to Andre outlined the idea of a "continuation protocol", and a "child-acquisition protocol" -- maybe a "node parsing protocol" is a better name for the second one. Given an abstraction like this, it would be trivial to select to parse-and-follow html documents independently of the transport protocol. /me looks in can. /me sees that most of the worms have gotten out. :) -- Alan E "Please rush me my portable walrus cleaning kit!
