All, With regards to standards and scales I think defining our scales as a normal range should be part of the standards process itself. With undefined or ambiguous scales our standard could loose its iteroperability. The MPEG4 animation "standard" reminds me of this as I have interfaced my own system with two other systems that were based on MPEG4 animation and should have therefore been identical but actually had different "interpretations" of the scales required. This is not a good thing for a standard. Also, having our scales defined internally does not exclude other systems using our standard from mapping that scale value (0 to 1 or -1 to +1) to whatever system they choose to use. I can understand the idea of having the flexibility of user defined scales but I think this may be detrimental to our aims and would guarantee that using data from another publisher of XML would require you to first map their scale to yours. Speaking from experience this is painfull. Ian -- Ian Wilson CEO Emotion AI www.emotionai.com www.linkedin.com/in/ianwilson/ ian@emotionai.com Company registered in England #6546400
