What I'd really like to be able to do is to allow for an external
layout. That is, when another site links to the resource, it could
append a parameter to the URL specifying the URL of an alternative
layout to be used. Typically the alternative layout would be located
on the host linking *TO* the resource. I'd have to get the layout
across the network and that's how I wind up with it in a variable.
I mentioned this in another post and from the limited responses that I
received I concluded that almost no one else has any interest in doing
this sort of thing. I find that a bit surprising and it leaves me
wondering if I am not missing some other more popular way of skinning
this cat. Anyway, that's the rationale behind my inquiry. Thanks for
the input.
