I think this is a great idea in concept. I think implementation may be a bit tricky, though, and I'd hate to have to rely on this as a short term solution. But long term, yes, I would enthusiastically support such an idea, or some reasonable subset, if it were well thought out. Now all we need is a *workable* proposal or six. :-) -- Chris Waters [EMAIL PROTECTED] | I have a truly elegant proof of the or [EMAIL PROTECTED] | above, but it is too long to fit into http://www.dsp.net/xtifr | this .signature file.
