This is just an of the cuff question. I havn't looked at the paper at all so
I may be way off base here:

How many people see WWW as the architecture with everything fitting into
that model or the other way around with WWW as a component inside
some larger architecture?

I don't want to leave the impression that either view point is better than
the other. Both are valid and can be argued very convincingly. I just
wonder if some of us are working under the assumption that everyone
else sees it the same way. I've been working under the assumption that
the former was what everyone wanted. I may be wrong.
