Well, it would be possible chop off a few more reserved bits (e.g. 2), and make this "domain of applicability" preference: two preferences would only be valid inside the same "domain" class. But this relies on the advertising parties making this right.. and otherwise sounds like a bad (==unnecessary) idea too. -- Pekka Savola "Tell me of difficulties surmounted, Netcore Oy not those you stumble over and fall" Systems.
