I usually refer to these things by filename. Whatever the decision on colloquialisms, lets remove the dashes and the version number from the real filenames. It can be somewhere in the path to the file instead, and embedded in the file and/or its namespace. But that bump in the middle of the name makes it impossible to say. llrpdef.xml llrpdef.xsd llrp.xsd I personally like LLRP-XML as the colloquialism for for llrp.xsd, since I believe it has wider application than LTK APIs. -- John. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
