normal() today puts a "v" on. Apparently that isn't Test::YAML::Meta friendly (yet) and "v" causes issues for Debian, so some people were thinking to just strip the "v" off -- that was thrust of the original post that started these 100+ message threads. Thus, belt and suspenders. Would it be better if I described it as a checksum? Leading "v" AND two separators (period or the hated underscore). If either gets omitted by a faulty emitter or mangled by some other downstream tool, consumers can still deal and figure out what was intended. -- David
