    Ok. This is a Blog, blog is just a web page where all the content (kinda redundant: a blog in a wiki, but I'll see if this works). You may comment on posts if you like.

    I've been thinking about why on earth doesn't w:HTML or w:XML contain tags or meta-tags for connecting a document to a point (or an area) on earth. This would be supergroovy if search engines supported searching for words with results ordered by physical location (very heavy search indeed, I've studied a course on GIS, and even done some work in that area, and I can tell you that multiple 1-dimensional search keys in an Relational Algebra (that's like what the RDBMS translates SQL into before it is executed) query is a picnic compared to even simplified 2-dimensional indexes, let alone if we want accurate real world 3d indexing (Buildings etc. have multiple floors you know.))

    Now I have just one thought. Forget the web, let's do it for Wikipedia! Throw in a standardised way of marking times up and voila: We have spatio-temporal data, that can be grouped and searched in numerous ways, if someone just coded the search engine and if we had some spare processing power for this tedious task.
