Anne - would you say it is "must" or "should" If you want to return a static list you should use a method. A method is expected to be able to return something new if you invoke it later. An attribute generally returns the same thing over time. (This is the pattern we try to follow.) Although I don't have conclusive data, my impression is that developers prefer static lists. You might be able to get more feedback on this by emailing public-webapps@w3.org. -- Anne van Kesteren http://annevankesteren.nl/
