Reference: Apple's "bento"           technology?        3) electonic staples should have a standard "size and shape"           so a supply of staples could be used be used by several           programs.3)      recycling electronic staples and paper clips        1) to assure proper accounting, and to detect patent violations           (people making their own electronic staples), it may be           necessary to attach a certificate to each staple or paper           clip.Rogers                       Informational                      [Page 1]

RFC 1927           MIME Types: Associating Documents        1 April 1996        2) When a file or folder is deleted, a "recycler" program could           look inside for staples or paper clips that could be reused           or recycled.                1) staples could be reycled for a small credit                2) paper clips could be reused.4)      custom-look electronic staples and paper clips        1) when stabled or clipped documents are displayed on the           desktop, there should be some icon or visual indicator to           show the presence of the (possibly removable) staple           or paper clip        2) "color=" and "shape=" attributes in the MIME line should           allow senders to customize the appearance of individual           staples or paper clips.                1) this could have some significance for office filing                   systems, for instance: a silver paper clip could                   trigger one workflow component, while                   a gold paper clip could trigger another.        3) "src=" would allow the specification of a URL of the image to           be shown, for even greater control of appearance.        4) it should be possible to specify 3D modelling of your custom           paper clip, for electronic desktops being viewed through           virtual reality headsets5)      electronic paper clip sculpture        1) instead of discarding or reusing paper clips, it should be           possible to "bend" them and display the resulting sculpture           on the desktop                1) a morphing interface would be suitable        2) linked chains of paper clips        3) each paper clip should keep track of how many times it has           been  bent.  Above a certain limit, the clip should fail.Rogers                       Informational                      [Page 2]

RFC 1927           MIME Types: Associating Documents        1 April 19966)      electronic paper clips as page flags        1) in addition to using electronic paper clips to group related           documents, it should be possible to attach an electronic           paper clip to a single page of a multipage document or           collection of documents.  This highlights or draws           attention to the page.        2) it should be possible to include positioning information           with the electronic paper clip, to mark specific paragraphs           or sentences        3) combinations of color, shape, size, position, orientation,           etc. could have special meaning7)      additional safety hazards of electronic paper clips        1) they should not be used on data flines which might end up in           the hands of very small children                1) thus, one should consider keeping them in a locked                   drawer of the electonic desk on home PCs        2) they should not be attached to documents on floppy disks, as           they may erase portions of the floppySecurity Considerations   Security issues are not discussed in this memo.Author's Address   Craig Milo Rogers   USC/Information Sciences Institute   4676 Admiralty Way   Marina del Rey, CA 90292   Phone: 310-822-1511   EMail: rogers@isi.eduRogers                       Informational                      [Page 3]
