Nothing about it sounds innovative. In terms of prior art, what about http://www.w3.org/TR/NOTE-XFDL from 1998? The USPTO is turning patent filing into a race to patent the obvious any time a new format or medium comes along. A early comment by the judge in the Eolas v Microsoft case was that the prior art related to LAN technologies, and Eolas' technology was for the Internet. --- Noel --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
