Re: Subtle Docs & Links trap



ravi:
  If you then try and backfollow from the ID of the 
  document that you do have to find links
  to that document, you will not get anything:

Normally the links to a document aren't the only thing 
that's interesting, the links to any of the stuff in the 
document and any document that might be construed as
a "version" of the document are also interesting, modulo
filters.

You are correct that the current behavior is correct,
the cases where one actually wants to retrieve links 
to a document directly, as opposed to all documents 
containing the stuff of the document, will be rare.

However, if pressed, I'm sure I could come up with an example
where we would actually use the backfollow from the ID
directly.
