I'd say that it's not currently handled specially, but that what people are discussing is whether expected behavior requires handling it specially. The items you mention have default behaviors when the lists are unset, but they don't have default lists, and the default behavior is codable without a list. Same with attachments: if no default list exists, attachments are simply not counted. This is codable without a list, but the more complex behavior that users expect is not. (More accurately, the most efficient way to code a more complex behavior is with a default list.) What's being proposed is a default list for attachments as an alternative to simple default behavior. -- -D. [EMAIL PROTECTED] NSIT University of Chicago
