Where's the meaning and what can I do with a document that uses a vocabulary I don't know? What if that vocabulary is in a language I don't understand (the use of English here for examples tends do cloud the issue)? How do I find out that "d" holds path data? -- Robin Berjon <robin.berjon@expway.fr> Research Engineer, Expway
