I want to point out that Lynx is an excellent browser, which also
has this same effect. All locations are reachable via the same
interface: ftp, gopher, www, telnet. If you are clever you can even
manage to read e-mail with it! I do that sometimes (I just figured
out how). And, for the super-clever (I exclude myself from this
group), it is possible to read Usenet with lynx.

Lynx also builds a bookmark file with well-constructed URLs...

... and which are every bit as interchangeable. And to interchange
them, you don't even need to send bookmark files as attachments.
Merely including them in the text is adequate for sharing.

Exchanging bookmark files is a banner idea! Actually, now that
I think of it, you can see mine here:

And my web site generally begins with just /~reimann. The focus
is higher ed.

Just thought I'd share my lynx tips...
