I have to admit I didn't look at your examples carrefully but what I was saying is * if it is not for acidity, what's the point of sponge? * if the answer is "none" (as I believe) so is there a reason to be explicit about it? those questions may look like metaphysical traps but they are not: I'm just beotian when it comes to standardisation and low level. regards. -- Marc Chantreux Pôle CESAR (Calcul et services avancés à la recherche) Université de Strasbourg 14 rue René Descartes, BP 80010, 67084 STRASBOURG CEDEX 03.68.85.60.79
