From: "T. Joseph W. Lazio" <lazio@spacenet.tn.cornell.edu> | Both &binhex.document; and &uuencoded.document; are defined. Is | there a reason not to have a more general description, like | &encoded.document;? I can see at least one pro and con: ... --- Yes, it would definitely be useful to have a generic &encoded.document, for the reason you cite - there will always be new encodings. On the other hand, it is definitely also useful to have specific icons for common existing encodings. They're not mutually exclusive; we should have both. scott -- scott preece motorola/mcg urbana design center 1101 e. university, urbana, il 61801 phone: 217-384-8589 fax: 217-384-8550 internet mail: preece@urbana.mcd.mot.com
