The Web could benefit greatly from the bandwith savings,
increased availability, and reduced server costs offered

We propose *pointer records*,
signed files containing a document's id,
its current version's hash, and a timestamp.
-The key difference to earlier approaches is that
-the pointer records are treated as ordinary files

+Pointer records are shared and sought for

We also present the Storm data model,
