David Thomas wrote: "Nobody would now claim that a fifteenth century proclamation was not a public record just because it was printed, would they?" I agree with the point, but it opens us up to the difference between a printed document and a webpage. As far as I know, the 15th century documents do not update themselves on a regular basis. If I access a web page in 2001 and again in 2005, is that the same webpage? If I access the treaty of Westphalia in 1900 or in 2001, it is the same treaty. I would be curious to see if any webpage archives itself so that ANY changes to it are recorded and archived so that I can check the 2001 against the 2005. I can do that with printed documents.
