I don't think the any CGI spec should be burdened with the complications of WinCGI. WinCGI is a being into it's own, and has in many cases, drastically different behavior. Let's keep this CGI spec useful, if we try to generalize to the point you advocate, it will likely lose a great deal of utility and precision. ----- Dan DuBois, Software Animal http://www.spyglass.com/~ddubois/ I absolutely do not speak for Spyglass.
