If the discussion is not helpful to you, ignore it. That is what the subject is for.

Well, there have been somewhere around 20-30+ posts on this "blue sky" discussion which has little if any real benefit to offer current list members.
What would be a good discussion is some testing that points in directions that would benefit members now, such as whether it is faster or slower if you use all longhand syntax in assign statements
<@ASSIGN NAME="v_myvar" VALUE="123" SCOPE="user">
<@ASSIGN "v_myvar" "123" SCOPE="user">
<@ASSIGN v_myvar 123 user>
<@ASSIGN @@user$v_myvar 123>
which is faster?
If you do want to discuss something that could make your apps run faster then test and discuss the above.
My experience has been that the less characters Tango has to evaluate, the faster it runs. I think this would hold true until you get into places where it has to look for scoped vars. Since I have always scoped every var this does not matter to me. But I have also used longhand religiously and would like to know if it is worth the trouble to change my apps by cutting back on the longhand.
<@ASSIGN NAME="v_myvar" VALUE="123" SCOPE="user">
is bout twice as many characters as
<@ASSIGN v_myvar 123 user>
is it twice as fast? If so it *might* be worth the trouble.
I can tell you that having a "deploy" version and a development version of any HTML will speed up your apps quite a bit. In other words one file has tabbed and CR'd text and the deploy version has nothing but tags, all Tabs and CRs are removed. The file is smaller, so the server has less to deal with, Tango has less characters to evaluate, the transmission time is smaller and the browser has less to do. Perceived site speed can be almost double from using this simple ploy.
Otherwise I would say that from my perspective, the list has had enough of the discussion of "wouldn't it be nice".
JMHO.
