I'm not sure about adding new terms, unless there's a protocol for handling unknown input (and you'd have to ask, what would the difference be between unknown and incorrect?). Your machine has the new term; mine does not. Your machine's sending me this stuff mine doesn't understand. But we're working both working off the same schema as far as the versioning is concerned. Potentially, a new term is a breaking change. For example, adding a new verb to HTTP without changing the version, while not a change to the deployed terms, is a change to HTTP. regards, Bill de hÓra .. Propylon www.propylon.com
