I think you've slightly punctured my argument... by machine generated, I was including queries coded in an application. I do agree that in this context having an alternative quoting mechanism is useful for making the source code more readable. But I still feel that is/of is not really important so I suppose it's just a matter of degree and taste? #g ------------ Graham Klyne For email: http://www.ninebynine.org/#Contact
