Again, I'm still not 100 percent sure I'm ready to endorse any particular approach, but I think the distinction in the potential needs is just right. For better or worse, the chapter 5 encoding provides a graph data model. One of its uses is for RPC, but there are other potential uses. The root attribute distinguishes certain nodes in the graphs. Chapter 7 provides for remote procedure call: the proposed START tag marks the element that identifies the service to be called, I think. I wonder whether something like METHOD= or CALL= might be more suggestive than START? I'm not sure we are really starting anything, so much as distinguishing the element that identifies the call to be attempted. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Noah Mendelsohn Voice: 1-617-693-4036 Lotus Development Corp.
