Hi Colin,

For some reason everyone seems determined to come up with the most

Let's not look at this as simply a discussion about "access tags", but
an opportunity to extend the syntax of the current key-value pair system
to include flexible extensibility.
How about something like access:expr=expression, where the expression is
in some simple syntax and can reference pseudo-variables like time, day,
weather, weight, height etc. Why not use a javascript-compatible syntax?
Or a bit of XML? No point in re-inventing the wheel.
my sarcasm detection seems to be broken - are you seriously suggesting
JavaScript or XML? Or are you suggesting that the proposal is too complex?
Yes, yes, and yes.
Colin
