That'd mean developers could: a) see what the options are b) specify what options they use in a way that will be easily understood and shared Hmmm.... maybe we'll get back to the SGML declaration eventually. Us open systems ranters could just take the core set minus all the extra pieces so we didn't have to worry about inconvenient expectations. I suspect that Working Groups will shudder at the thought of any of their precious features being listed as expendable this way, but it's about time for clarity if they aren't willing to throw more things out. -- Simon St.Laurent Ring around the content, a pocket full of brackets Errors, errors, all fall down! http://simonstl.com
