The same tags shouldn't be used for different things. First of all, the <name> tag is optional, so we cannot rely on its being present. Second, for a given e-mail address, some information is needed where to look it up. If it is a developer, their name can be found in the developers' database. If it is a herd, its description can be found in a different place, currently herds.xml. Even if this information had only marginal importance, I don't see why we should drop it. > Please provide some examples of when and how that piece of > information, "herd", is important. Don't shift the burden of proof, please. Ulrich
