RE: Tracking Core Component use

[David RR Webber - XMLGlobal <Gnosis_@compuserve.com>]

Dave,

I think we are on safe ground here - using the approaches Len 
outlined and also the Webalizer stuff does not allow you to 
see individual activities, just big picture visits and total counts.

Snooping on who was using what would definately be off-limits
for all sorts of business ethical reasons.

The TRP interface I believe would constrain how much external
eavesdropping is possible too.

Thanks, DW.

Although it sounds like a 'neat' technical mechanism and you may think it
doesn't apply, I can imagine the subject of "the Registry can tell us which
core components and varients are most often used" might be risking some
privacy scrutiny; being a public standard on the public Internet ?!! 
As opposed to early days of B2C when there wasn't a lot of focus, Internet
privacy today is a very very serious business issue. Does that apply for
B2B, .. I'm not sure but as a business end user I know of many instances
when company's don't want others to see what data and trading relationships
are
being thought of and conducted. 
I can also imagine there's a few interesting legal questions that might be
asked about what laws/rules govern RegRep ops.

You asked for some "thoughts here".
