But the thing is that there is no "document" at the end of the link. Only
the page itself. I can artificially assign it to one of the existing
Lout categories but my question is on the need for another and new
category for web pages/documents/sites. I would think that this
situation will be increasingly common in the future.

And yes, it may not be there tomorrow but it is there now and I'm
referring to it so I need to have a way to get a reference to it in
Lout. And in this case its the Principia Cybernetica Web which has been
around for close to 10 years so can be considered stable by
Internet-standards.

But maybe I'm missing your point; sorry...

Thanks for your replies,
