One of the things we talked about Thursday was whether for embedded objects (an objectReference pointing to something carried in an object element) the digest was calculated over the <object> start and end tags. There was discussion as to processing simplicity, binding of the ID value, ability to switch between embedded/detached, etc. and I agreed to report back. What I'd like to propose is that the default behavior is to digest the entire object including start and end tags. Since we have the exclusion mechanism (once its nailed down), if the application wants to ignore those tags (for example if the identification mechanism allows switching between embedded and detached), then it should specify an exclusion transformation which results in digesting only the content inside the object element. If there are no objections, this is what I'll go with. Dave
