Well hop[efully more than a page-layout doc :-)

It seems the obvious thing to add to CyberDog -- though there might be a
conflict with the way CyberDog resolves protocols to particular parts. It
seems that the HotJava part (for it would be the browser) would be a
"wildcard" part. Perhaps each instantiation of the HotJava part could deal
with one protocol and register with CyberDog that way.

Plenty of interesting things to think about -- if only I could get CyberDog
and HotJava on my Mac :-)

[I systematically typed "CyberDoc" for "CyberDog" all through this document
-- a Freudian slip?]
