I want to personally warn this group that hot Java may be a very bad road to go
down....

The concept of a appended protocol means that costom protocols would be
appended to a protocol stack that 1. would have to be searched during a
transmit, 2. would grow in size as time goes on.

But most importantly it could destroy all the hard work that you people have
done here.

I believe VRML is on the right track RIGHT NOW. It would be wiser to extend it
and get browseres working on multiple platforms under the Netscape trasport
than try to get browsers working with Hot Java....
