[OT] Fun links idea.

Seems that HTTP is usefull to retrieve documents. Thats nice, but can be interesting if http is expanded to retrieve links

BACKLINKS /homepage.htm
that may return a collection of pages to link to this resource.

LINKS /page.htm
that may return a collection of links of that resource

if some user follow a link on page.htm to homepage.htm, the server will check the suggested backling with a LINKS request, confirm and update the backling database for that resource.

the html sintax example can be:

<a href=""enormeousfile.dvd.iso"" method='backlinks">Mirrors for DVD iso</a>

the browser coder can render the result of the backlinks request as a popup menu to select (here) a download site

<a href=""spec.pdf"" method='backlinks">Important Spec</a>

the server can reping often the backlinks, to drop 404 resources, so only real alive stuff is backlinked.
