Good point since this RFC was adopted in October 1996 and patent 
5,790,790 was filed October 24, 1996 by Jeffry C. Smith of Menlo Park, 
and Jean-Christophe Bandini, of Cupertino. But patent 6,192,407 
describes "private URLS" or PURLS and was filed April 1997.


XAM offers an 80 byte reference that can be made "public" while still 
offer security that does not involve the moving parts found in the '97 
patent.
