Well, we already *have* links -- that's more-or-less exactly the
current WWWAnchor node. I'm not proposing doing away with that. I'm
suggesting that we *add* the more real-world means of communication,
the Portal. If people want to keep using links/anchors, that's their
prerogative; I suspect most won't, but there's no especially good
reason to take the capability *out*...
However, a link + a window is *not* really a true portal -- it doesn't
have the concepts of spatial continuity that are critical to making
Cyberspace feel natural. That's why I'm pushing hard for true Portals,
rather than just hacks...
