I think it is an excellent idea, especially if it were expanded to include
the concepts of short_name (e.g., Widget Works Info Service) and long_name
(e.g., Widget Works Info Service/newline 123 Widget Works Drive/newline
Palo Alto, CA 94505/newline 415 765 4321/newline).
A more general extension to the idea might result from asking, do WWW
servers and doucments need something akin to the CIP (cataloguing in
publication) data that now occurs in nearly all published books. As WWW
servers and users proliferate, the need for improved value-added
classification schemes will also proliferate.
