I certainly agree that we haven't clarified them! Unfortunately, decisions not to formalize things, or not to clarify things, go against the general spirit of a Primer, the job of which *is* to clarify things. What I'd like to do is clarify what things you can generally do with containers, and also either clarify what questions are undecided or unspecified, or (preferably) avoid getting into them. However (also unfortunately), it's hard to avoid getting into bear traps if it's unclear where they are! --Frank -- Frank Manola The MITRE Corporation 202 Burlington Road, MS A345 Bedford, MA 01730-1420 mailto:fmanola@mitre.org voice: 781-271-8147 FAX: 781-271-8752
