Whoosh. I agree, coming up with some alternative that provides the services an URL and its display do (from understanding where you are to noting what options are being passed to being able to cut and paste pieces of it), in a fashion that will serve all the users of the web (from individuals to corporations to storage of massive document databases, and from neophytes to professionals) is non-trivial. Cool if they can manage it, though.<\/p>\n

It should<\/i> go without saying that whatever solution Google comes up with should be something that doesn’t affect how the web actually works — i.e., is still compatible with every other browser out there, because the underlying URLs still exist — and that still allows access to the full URL when needed and that doesn’t require some additional “registration” or credentialing. In other words, I see this as being successful and useful only if it’s on the presentation \/ UI layer, not anything more deeper or more intrusive than that. Make the Internet better, vs. breaking it.<\/p>\n
