I would say that Brian is correct in his interpretation. Does James want to enforce such a strict interpreptation? Depends on the deployer. We should avoid being being an RFC enforcer unless leniency compromises James behaviour. This issue doesn't compromise James behaviour, so maybe we should consider adding a wrapper to Brians stuff which can be configured to enforce strict or lenient RFC compliance and adjusts its behaviour accordingly. -- Steve --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
