The only comment/request I have is to make this delegation mechanism optional. Currently it seems that the AUTHORITY attribute to the GRID tag is mandatory so that delegation is forced on you. I would prefer it to be optional, so that if it is present you can assume that location has all the detailed data/graphs and gmetad only needs to send/keep the summary data/plots, but if it is not set, then the source gmetad will publish all the details and the second gmetad will create its own copy of everything. ~Jason -- /------------------------------------------------------------------\ | Jason A.
