This fix was made due to comments from that last call period. As I understand it, the Recommendation Track process is an attempt to facilitate the creation of technically robust specifications, not to impede them, and thus I feel confident that the Director will see this fix in that light. Obviously, you have every right to interpret it differently. Regards- Doug doug.schepers@vectoreal.com www.vectoreal.com ...for scalable solutions.
