In a recent academic paper, computer scientists Thomas A. Phelps and Robert
Wilensky outlined a way to create links among Web pages that will work even

"It's a pretty clever way of dealing with a very difficult problem," said
Ron Daniel, who once worked on an alternative solution that has been
submitted to the Internet Engineering Task Force, an online standards body
