From...
(IDG) -- Tired of gripes from end users who
can't find specific documents on your intranet?
Your problem may soon be solved thanks to a
proposed Internet standard that replaces long,
complex URLs with regular words.
The so-called Common Name standard is on
the fast track for approval within the Internet
Engineering Task Force, which is expected to
designate a formal working group for the task in August.
Proponents of the
planned standard say a first draft should be completed
this fall, with adoption in
browsers, portals, search services and directories
anticipated next year.
