I am very keen on containers within containers. I'd like to use them - to be able to create tools to create user accounts on a system, each user would then be able to crete subdirectories in there ( eg a blogging space, a picture space etc, which could have different ACLs attached ) - Perhaps containers in containers can be used for content negotiation. A content negotiated resources would just be a container that only has documents that are representations of one another. > > Regards, > Dave > > >> >> Ashok >> > Social Web Architect http://bblfish.net/
