I've made several postings on this point.  See

  http://www.lists.ic.ac.uk/hypermail/xml-dev/xml-dev-May-1999/

for details.  The summary is that people have the rights to virtual
Internet space based on host/domain, branch/path, protocol, and time;
you cannot leave the protocol part out (I don't have FTP rights on
Sprynet, for example).


All the best,


David
