My feeling is that the Wiki content on the include pattern needs a tidy anyway, but if this issue with firing unwanted requests is unfixable, I think we should restructure to promote the hyperlink- include as the first-choice solution.
I would agree with that... even here such extra unecessary requests could be a problem at the server end. (as the load is constantly pretty high)
PS It's then just a small step to allow off-page includes, which is related to the interlinked hCards on different sites that I was talking about recently on this list. If anyone can come up with more real-world use-cases for this type of cross-site uF linkage, I'd be most grateful. Looking further ahead (wrong list for that, I know) I'd see good mashup opportunities from allowing more uF interlinkage... =0)
interesting ... but the extra complexity that would add to parsers (requiring them to do the extra requests) would be a problem.. also what about pages being looked at offline?
I think too much stuff would break!
