> I am strongly in favor of Norm's thoughts here, > and it sounds like Richard and Henry are too. I (and Henry) have always been in favour of basing the language on a minimal set of constructs. At times we've talked about a core language and a more complicated language which provides syntactic sugar on top of the core, but that wasn't universally popular and I'm quite happy with a core *semantics* on to which the syntactic constructs are mapped. So on the one hand I'm not so concerned about what the syntax, but on the other I would go further than Norm: we don't need anything special at all for here documents, so long as we have a URI-reading component. A here document is equivalent to having a separate document containing the here document, and using the URI-reading component to connect it to the port. -- Richard
