Argh, I just deleted the mail showing who suggested this, but I really like the idea of using virtual packages to indicate public standards, and let each package that provides those standards implement them however they like. My only concern is that specifying them by namespace could get extremely unwieldy after a very short while. Perhaps a more descriptive name would be easier, such as w3c-dom-parser, w3c-dom1-parser, w3c-dom2-parser, and so on might be easier for humans to read. On the other hand, if you know you need org.w3.dom.*, I can see how it'd be easier to say "Requires: org-w3-dom-parser". Eh, just a thought. -=Eric -- Those who know how to play can easily leap over the adversaries of life.
