I proposed something quite similar to this (nearly identical, in fact) a
few months back. Its purpose was to improve the efficiency and
organization of web pages on freenet. Instead of using multiple SVKs on a
web page containing updatable redirects to CHKs, a web page would use a
single "map" file (perhaps listed in a META tag or somesuch) to associate
CKHs (and other keys) with keywords for all of the links, image tags, etc.
contained within. This would mean that for web pages with many updateable
links you'd only need to request approximately half of the keys you would
otherwise (since all "redirects" are handled by referencing one map file)
and to update the entire page's links you'd only need to update the single
map file (linked to by an SVK).
(I apologize for all the parenthetical comments, I really must learn to
organize my paragraphs better. :)
I can think of a few other applications for map files, but this seems
the most useful to me. Map files and subspaces solve different problems.
