Of course it depends on the practical situation, but it may very well complicate software and data maintenance of the server. And how long time is implied by "stable"? A year, 10 years, 100 years, the life span of the system? A server should commit itself to some "official URI:s", or entry points. But forcing a server to commit itself to maintaining all URI:s that have ever been published to any client seems to me like introducing unneccesary coupling. /Paul -- Paul Cohen www.seibostudios.se mobile: +46 730 787 035 e-mail: [email protected] ------------------------------------ Yahoo!
