We're really drifting here, but as far as meta-data goes, nobody is
arguing against 'normative considerations.' This type of meta-data is
calculated from -- NOT 'attached' as addition to -- the original
document. Google page rank technology is just a simple algorithm, based
on examination, not a system to bloat content in order to create
industry for librarians (i.e. 'findability').
