It would make the defaulting story slightly easier to specify, since an omitted input would *always* be equivalent to an empty <p:input> element for that port. Is there any reason not to do that? Also, I'm assuming that the default readable port after a given step would be the default output of the previous step (in document order)? Jeni -- Jeni Tennison http://www.jenitennison.com
