This topic has been in some of the threads lately, as well as in other similar topics (see distributed-registry thread about Meta-Query). How do you go about,...

I know that I was the one advocating capabilities, but I think the examples show how difficult they are to use in real life. If I am looking at a page with my...

From: "S. Alexander Jacobson" <alex@...> ... That would be nice, but the practice seems somewhat different than theory here. For instance, there is no way...
