I'm not opposed to adding the "indeterminate" flag. Personally I'd prefer a single tri-state value rather than one bit of data and one bit of "is it meaningful", for clarity and coding convenience,, but if the current value is a boolean I agree that changing it to a short integer or bitfield would have backward-compatability problems. (However, one minor quibble: I'd argue that IE for Mac and IE for Windows should be treated as two ports of one implementation, not an example of existing interoperability/standardization. This certainly doesn't mean we shouldn't adopt their solution if it's a good one; it just means that as a precedent it has less weight than if multiple vendors had already implemented it. And yeah, I'd say the same thing if it was IBM's implementations.) ______________________________________ Joe Kesselman / IBM Research
