But I believe that a general query mechanism such as DASL would be a better way to provide these reports, rather than a set of predefined property types and attributes. Until the DASL query mechanisms are defined, we get at least some level of report customizability through standard PROPFIND mechanisms. >I, personally, don't think that modeling history as a resource is viable >since there are several different ways that I want to view the history. >History information should be an XML "report". The results of PROPFIND is an XML report. It has the advantage of being understood by all browsers that implement PROPFIND, rather than being limited to just those browsers that understand the DeltaV extensions. Cheers, Geoff
