Wait we DO have these rules satisfied!

Permission to link to a document is explicitly granted by the act of publication.

It is tho! Back then "permission" was more serious, iuts so much more leniant now, when u publish to the chain you are givng permission to link to iut or else no one would be getting links to yur post, yes we can give links, i think youre thinking of the definition differently of what they meant but maybe i am wrong i dunno depends on what they meant but it was SO long ago we can kinda set aside some of these rules as they are irrelevant now

Every document can contain a royalty mechanism at any desired degree of granularity to ensure payment on any portion accessed, including virtual copies ("transclusions") of all or part of the document.

But this si EXACTLY what Steem author and curation rewards are!!!

Every document is automatically moved to physical storage appropriate to its frequency of access from any given location.

EOS will do this but wait, teem does do this! the data is moved from node to node, people get the physical data on their own computers nowadays! remember i think these rules were written in the 7-s before the storage and recall of data online was very advanced... the had no idea f cloud computing yet... they were still stuck on ",mainframe" computing and using "remote" terminals .. u know how it was back then (even tho we werent around lol)

but yeah also we even have the whole secure acces controls!

Every document can have secure access controls.

well this IS what Posting keys are!! we DO have secure access contrls! only the post author can acess the data necisary to CHANGE the documents! the "source code" i thin is what their talking about acessing here..... BUT yeah if they ARE talking about just literaly being able to view the pages then yeah yorue right, we COULD have a great private posts feature where you need a special key just to VIEW the data! would be awesome! or pay to view pay per view posting LOL or that REALLY good blogging! so good theres a pay wall! lol

but yeah im just kinda bending the meanings to fit my own needs to make steemit seem liek we fit the critereon heh i see that now, im making it fit my needs but its just semantics, we shoudl ask WHY those rules are even imporant i can see why moist of them still are some may become irrelevant nowadays

But yeh this is interesting amazing stuff!
