This is not meant to be a local caching thing, rather to allow a mixed
mode (i.e. local/internet) presentation of linked things. If WaxWeb's
CD isn't installed, for example, the show could still go on (by
fetching from the net)...
---------------------------------------------------
This kind of local file caching is a Browser implementation issue. There are
many ways to do it, and some browsers will be smarter at caching than other
browsers. Putting the local name into the the Anchor file is far to static -
What happens if you add a new drive to your machine, and your CD-ROM drive
isn't where it was.

What about allowing name "" to support multiple links, so that the browser
could be told name "file:///localfile.doc http://www.remote.com/foo.html".
The browser could then be configured to look first at a local CD for
content, resort to the http if *file not found* error
