I guess I wouldn't be adamant, though, because this list is disjunctive rather than conjunctive, making it at least a little like the list of selectors, as opposed to a set of values. So, I wouldn't object to comma separation, but I would like the standard to use only quoted strings in examples. I do think allowing unquoted multi-word names is confusing. b/t/w - I believe the current grammar would not support the suggestion - I think it requires quoting. scott -- scott preece motorola/mcg urbana design center 1101 e. university, urbana, il 61801 phone: 217-384-8589 fax: 217-384-8550 internet mail: preece@urbana.mcd.mot.com
