Hi Byron – thanks for your comment, and sorry it’s taken me so long to reply. I’ve been kinda busy (see http://electronicmuseum.org.uk/2008/09/11/its-bathcamp-weekend/)…

You raise some very good points, and certainly there are some ways around the usability issues. I feel these should now become the focus of OID now: less about the technology, more about the user. If we can do this, we stand half a chance that it’ll work for “most” users. If we don’t, it’ll continue to fail.
