Hm! Anyone here feel close enough to NCSA's Software Developmen Group to suggest it as a feature in a future Mosaic release? It seems like such functionality would hardly run counter to their committment to established protocol sets & non-proprietary releases. [It'd also be an ironic and imho fitting turnabout to see Mosaic implement some standardized functionality which Netscrape had yet to re-Invent...] [editorial-mode off]
