Another objective is to provide support for groupings of HTML documents that form on-line books, magazines, journals and conference proceedings etc. I am currently analysing a wide range of paper material to see whether these documents can be adequately described using just a few new tags. Some things are clearly too arbitary, and would need to be described as embedded figures using another format, e.g. Postscript or Computer Graphics Metafile. It would also be great to add support for annotations of various kinds, with forward references from documents to responses etc. Further work is needed to clarify the implications for the markup language.
Comments are welcome.
Let me know if you still can't access this file. If we can get this right, the opportunity is there to make the Web as common place as FTP is now.
