I never said that the extended example was an excellent design choice. It was provided to demonstrate that there is considerable choice available to the person doing the specification. In fact, you ignored the end of my note, citing a real-world specification that is substantially different from the XML example that you chose. Although it takes more characters than a pure RFC822 address, it is not as onerous as yours. d/ ---------- Dave Crocker <mailto:dcrocker@brandenburg.com> Brandenburg InternetWorking <http://www.brandenburg.com> tel: +1.408.246.8253; fax: +1.408.273.6464
