Having a minimum set of configuration options would probably be a waste of time in my view as all implementations are so different. Since all implementations use (or can be made to use) a config file, my vote is for a free form string variable. The format of the text depends on the vendor. All we need to agree on is a standard cookie to identify the vendor and version. Regards Andrew
