Aaron and Mark, you should explore this more fully. If you did a GET on a logical structure on a server, you need an object model. This idea competes with parameter lists. Maybe it's my Unix background, but I *like* parameter lists. They make sense to me. They give me a chance to simplify and refine and document my interfaces. But you could try to make the world align around GET and POST, and see what happens. I've been through this loop once before with Apple. They insisted that an object model would be understandable to most scripters. I disagreed. We did the procedural interface, they did the object model interface. Now almost ten years later it might be a good idea to find out what happened there. I honestly don't know. Perhaps both approaches deserve a chance. Thanks to Aaron's eloquent and respectful writing, I now understand what the issue is. Dave
