-In addition to pointer records, this paper XXX
+In addition to pointer records, this paper makes the following
+contributions:
+
+- Proposing a versioned location-independent Web in which not only the
+  identifiers for individual versions, but also the identifiers
+  for all versions of a document are resolved 
+  in a location-independent way;
+- Proposing an elegant way for storing only the differences
+  between versions of a document, without breaking the
+  underlying model of a datastore as a collection of
+  files identified by their hash and nothing else [XXX improve text];
+- Sketching a novel scheme for issuing digital signatures,
+  which does not rely on private keys to identify signers
+  and thus makes signatures more permanent (they don't lose value
+  when the private key is exposed). [XXX improve text]
