  • URLs are fixed descriptions; the become invalid when information is reorganized
    	URNs are in the works
  • HTML is too limited as a presentation format; Hypercard 10 years ago was much better
    	HTML+ is on the way
  • Exponential Growth is going to overburden the most popular sites
    	perhaps caching will help
