Right. And if they don't get the joke, well... a thread will be spawned or appended and yet another polity will emerge. If we had to wear t-shirts signifying which sides we were on in any given week on XML-Dev, could your closet hold all of them? :-) len From: W. E.

But the internetwork topology is the medium which facilitates publishing while allowing what is published to be stated in the local terms of its creation. If you don't want to be noticed, don't publish. You can accomplish that negative goal either by offering nothing or by offering something only to a limited group bound, presumably, by a body of shared semantics. The internetwork topology is the vehicle for something very different--publication of your local understandings in your local terms to a worldwide audience which presumably does not share semantics specifically local to you.
