Re: [SWMP] Use Case 1: Initialization from a URL

Re-posting, this time to the mailing list. It is set to "Reply-To"

against accidental publishing of private communication.

I would assume that the billboard ad still has just a hostname
or plain http://where.ever.com address, and that the traditional
homepage holds the swmp: link at a prominent place, or even tries
to open a new browser window for displaying it.

re-think my ideas based on that.

cheers,
