On reflection, I think the definition of SHOULD does cover this. "There may exist valid reasons in particular circumstances [for an implementation] to ignore a particular item", namely that it does not allow arbitrarily large exact numbers. -- John Cowan [email protected] http://ccil.org/~cowan Assent may be registered by a signature, a handshake, or a click of a computer mouse transmitted across the invisible ether of the Internet. Formality is not a requisite; any sign, symbol or action, or even willful inaction, as long as it is unequivocally referable to the promise, may create a contract. --Specht v.
