Surely we can do better? Perhaps we can. But we need to conform to the HAL framework style. As I understand it, the consumer understands the semantics of various links, but the actual links are "discovered" as a part of previous queries and not "constructed". As such, the links depend more on the ease of implementation rather than their "beauty". Perhaps Xu has experience and can enlighten us. _______________________________________________ Mailman-Developers mailing list Mailman-Developers@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-developers Mailman FAQ: http://wiki.list.org/x/AgA3 Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-developers%40python.org/ Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-developers/archive%40jab.org Security Policy: http://wiki.list.org/x/QIA9
