I'd like to make clear that the issue that worries me is not that we _must_ use exactly XML (or any other) semantics. But, we must define what a client can count on a server to do when a property is submitted, and when it is retrieved. Any number of explicit solutions that I don't care for meet that standard. Not defining this is a recipe for servers that corrupt property values, and remove their utility as an extension mechanism, except for _exactly_ those properties defined in the standard. This seems to me to violate the point of the whole exercise. -- David _________________________________________ David Durand dgd@cs.bu.edu \ david@dynamicDiagrams.com Boston University Computer Science \ Sr. Analyst http://www.cs.bu.edu/students/grads/dgd/ \ Dynamic Diagrams --------------------------------------------\ http://www.dynamicDiagrams.com/ MAPA: mapping for the WWW \__________________________
