I have never understood why I have had to make unreasonable things permissable in GIs just so that I could have entity names that mapped reasonably to the names in, for example, a graphics management system. I want to be able to declare separate rules for GIs, IDs, attributes, and entities. I don't think I'll really want to make them all different very often, but I do want to be able to. It just doesn't seem reasonable that they should all have to be the same - they describe different types of information and interact differently with the external world. -- Tommie ====================================================================== B.
