- Re the recent comments on terseness of UDIs and the
- extra verbosity in Dan Connolly's proposal to
- use Mime for WWW documents:
-
- My understanding is that nobody should have to type
- "naked" SGML (or HTML or Mime-language) anyway.
- We should have programs like WYSIWYG editors
- manipulating the markup for us. (Now of course
- at present we do have to type HTML, at least I do
- here, but hopefully this will not persist). If
- that's right, then the more explicit and simple
- the document structure is, the easier to parse
- and manipulate by programs, the better we are.
-
- One thing I like about Dan's proposal - it makes
- it possible to collect a hyperdocument into a single
- file (by embedding the docs within one mime file)
- which will make transporting easier
