However, what Pete is failing to point out is that the proper
architecture will require that you *never* reference context related
entries or context interfaces (such as BlockContext and related entries
- which independently of Pete's approach is a common practice across the
Avalon community). In addition, Pete failed to point out that you must
have implicit knowledge as a developer of the ideas about constraints on
a component that have never been documented. Unfortunately, if you fail
to read all of the thousands of messages on this list - they you are
totally hosed and its your fault because your suffering from a low IQ
and bad advise.
However, a common framework is technically possible - we just have to
work around the above problems.
Cheers, Steve,
(who tends to respect constraints based on what's documented in a formal
specs.)
