If we did reach that agreement, then I agree it should probably apply to both methods. Personally, I perfer to avoid "implementation dependent" whenever possible. It tends to lead to help-desks having to spend time defending your choice... and no matter which choice you make, some user will be trying to interchange code with an implementation that decided differently. But this might be enough of an edge case for that not to be a problem. ______________________________________ Joe Kesselman / IBM Research
