[Esip-preserve] Apps vs Internet

[Jeff de La Beaujardiere - NOAA via Esip-preserve]

The second article is more correct than the first. The actual test of
openness, however, is not whether the app uses http. Instead, the
question is: can anybody else write an app to access the same content
and perform the same functions, or is the app the only means of
access?
