(FWIW, I thought this would be already very clear and looked up the section Dave Bordoley was missing, but upon further inspection, I do agree that there should be some text to this effect, or this should be organized differently, like having a generic definition that says parameter names are case-insensitive, for values see the individual parameter definition.) -- Björn Höhrmann · mailto:bjoern@hoehrmann.de · http://bjoern.hoehrmann.de Am Badedeich 7 · Telefon: +49(0)160/4415681 · http://www.bjoernsworld.de 25899 Dagebüll · PGP Pub.
