This idea is similar in some ways to part of the HTTP-NG content negotation mechanism, in the idea of having profiles which can be accessed by reference. NG takes things quite a bit further, as it has much more sophisticated requirements for negotiation, some of which are driven by features like content negotiation, others of which come from security requirements. If people are interested, I'll post the relevant chapter to www-talk separate from the rest of the spec. Simon ----- (defun modexpt (x y n) "computes (x^y) mod n" (cond ((= y 0) 1) ((= y 1) (mod x n)) ((evenp y) (mod (expt (modexpt x (/ y 2) n) 2) n)) (t (mod (* x (modexpt x (1- y) n)) n))))
