We want the *capability*. I don't see how we can include anything specific in the primer before an actual language is developed and we see what templates might look like, although a placeholder indicating our intention might be a good idea. (I can only assume that since we haven't yet settled on a standard, the primer will be edited to conform before it is finalized.) kc -- Karen Coyle kcoyle@kcoyle.net http://kcoyle.net m: 1-510-435-8234 skype: kcoylenet/+1-510-984-3600
