I would love to find some way to unify these models to the point where applications that didn't care wouldn't be very dependent on the differences, but there would also be complexitities in trying to achieve such transparency. In any case, I think we need to seriously consider supporting both conventions. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Noah Mendelsohn Voice: 1-617-693-4036 Lotus Development Corp.
