On index.html, wouldn't we discourage the use of this? Wouldn't we want the HTTP server to do a directory listing, so publishers wouldn't have to update it every time? Also, if we are to allow/support automatic remote publishing, not having to lock/update an index.html would be a bonus. Parsing HTML (simple or fancy) to find "links that are children" is pretty trivial, so it probably wouldn't matter (to clients who are going to have to do this anyway) but it probably matters to publishers. regards Adam
