I don't know if I'd go that far. IT's not at all obvious to me what R and PV are. I much prefer, long, verbose, fully spelled out names for elements, even if they take longer to type. (Can you tell I'm not a big user of instant messaging?) Is R resource? Is PV "present value"? "property values"? There may be a very good idea here, but it's hard to tell amidst the abbreviations. :-( -- +-----------------------+------------------------+-------------------+ | Elliotte Rusty Harold | elharo@metalab.unc.edu | Writer/Programmer | +-----------------------+------------------------+-------------------+ | XML in a Nutshell, 2nd Edition (O'Reilly, 2002) | | http://www.cafeconleche.org/books/xian2/ | | http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ISBN%3D0596002920/cafeaulaitA/ | +----------------------------------+---------------------------------+ | Read Cafe au Lait for Java News: http://www.cafeaulait.org/ | | Read Cafe con Leche for XML News: http://www.cafeconleche.org/ | +----------------------------------+---------------------------------+
