Hi Lynn, If you want to transfer whole HTML-documents written in a language not displayable with Latin-1, the Http-protocol provides different ways of handling the situation. Refer to <draft-ietf-http-v10-spec-00.ps>, you can find it easily from http://www.w3.org. In my opinion it would be better to have an INCLUDE-tag, because in this case for every seperate request the client can say what he can handle and what he prefers, and the server can choose which is the best information-representation he can provide. Another point is, that HTML comes from SGML, and some SGML-rules were broken. One SGML-rule is, that tags must not be longer than 8 letters (broken by <BLOCKQUOTE>). Perhaps you can propose a tag, which does not exceed 8 letters. Hopefully that helps somehow. By Danny
