Okay, if framing is a problem, what about the vision that some hold out for
XML as a way for people to pull content from anywhere on the web and present
it on their own page?
"Now that the data is accessible on the client, it can be displayed in an
HTML page. This means that Jenny does not need to link to external sites for

Internet."
Comments on intellectual property concerns in that vision of the future?
