There's no doubt that representations are what's emitted. The difference between Pat's 1) and 2) is whether GETting http://www.ihmc.us/users/phayes/Yosemite.html returns a representation of a *document about Yosemite* (reading 1) or whether it returns a representation of *Yosemite* (reading 2). Either is plausible, but the difference is as fundamental as the difference between George Washington and a U.S. quarter. -- John Cowan http://www.ccil.org/~cowan jcowan@r... To say that Bilbo's breath was taken away is no description at all.
