Yes, but the discussion about index and such address the questions of
"Now that I have this nice imaginary world, how do I let people know
about it?, and how to people know it exists in order to come to it?, and
how do people who get on-line 2 years from now know enough to come
looking for my world?"

We aren't trying to figure out how to link worlds together, we are talking
more in terms of *the* Bookmark list. Another example of this can be
the catalog in a library, we don't care what the books say, we just want
to insure a way of finding the book when we want it.
