Of course, I suspect that it is "possible". It's simply > that it isn't wanted. On the [censored] W3C-internal mailing list, to which I belong, the question of open access was brought up -- and shot down on the to-me unbelievably feeble ground that certain members were afraid of spam if their addresses were openly published! (The W3C archiving mechanism for both public and internal mailing lists does not allow obfuscated addresses.) IMHO if you are going to set policy or create mechanism for a fundamental part of the Web, you should be willing to stand up and say so, and maybe run a spam-filter. Ghu knows the public-comment mailing lists collect enough spam as it is. -- John Cowan <jcowan@r...> http://www.reutershealth.com I amar prestar aen, han mathon ne nen, http://www.ccil.org/~cowan han mathon ne chae, a han noston ne 'wilith. --Galadriel, _LOTR:FOTR_
