    That's a great idea. That way, when I log on to my bank's website and find my balance near zero, it can search other browsers for a version of the page with money. Let the wealth be distributed! Power to the people!

    The reason that HTTP and FTP are so popular is because support for those protocols were built into the browsers and you didn't need to have an external application fielding the transmissions.

    Yeah, that's why Gopher is the runaway success it is today.
