What exactly do we mean by links? Do we mean things like "in-reply-to"
and "in-reference-to"? It seems to me that we're basically talking about
distributed threading of some kind. I assume the NNTP people solved this
problem back in 1987 or so. :)

I think this is more than blogs -- this is linking between any two given
pubsub nodes or items. Blogging is one application of that, but so might
be an NNTP-like netnews system.

I must admit that my mind does natively think in terms of RDF.
