Interesting - it sounds like this is a kind of client/publisheragreement that sidesteps the server entirely. Almost a super-protocol.In the sense that you, as publisher, are free to make whatever files youwant available while I, as the client, am free to display your files inwhatever way I like.

(Think about how awkward it would be to _exclude_ this behaviour in thespec!)
