Yes, that what I emphatically agreed with; although I did read your whole proposal and it looked fine to me. My only quibble would be that I prefer "Complete value" to "string" as the name for the new Format/Structure attribute number 4. > Sleeping on it overnight, I think adding a new 'type' to Class 1 > might be a bit more extreme than people may be willing to bear, so I > am changing tack slightly and think maybe its less impact to move > the All/Any/Adj Words attributes into expansion/interpretation.

No problem, your AA changes will, if anything, make it _more_ compatible with CQL. Your string-vs-words dichotomy mirrors the thought processes we went through in defining CQL. _/|_ _______________________________________________________________ /o ) \/ Mike Taylor <mike@indexdata.com> http://www.miketaylor.org.uk )_v__/\ "To be totally realistic, England outplayed us in every aspect of the game.
