We're talking about child > elements of properties. I realize that. But if clients store child elements into properties, different clients can potentially use the same namespace prefixes for different namespaces while doing so. If those two clients both change different properties, the server has to somehow work around that. When returning several properties at once, the server needs to reconcile this difference in order to create a coherent XML result. Likewise, clients can't expect the prefixes to always mean what they meant when the clients stored the properties, because other clients could potentially use the same prefixes for different namespaces. lukas -- Lukas Mathis, Numcom Software AG Hardturmstrasse 66, CH-8005 Zürich Direct +41(0)43-204 06 08 mailto:lukas.mathis@numcom.com, http://www.numcom.com/
