Yes, formally introducing the semicolon practise will force data consumers to look for it, or they will get problems in those cases (not that the current situation is much different). If we were to implement such a formalization we will surely cater for encoding of actual semicolons in the names/values, e.g. by defining a double semicolon as escape (this should work well, as we won't expect null-values in our value lists, do we?). cheers, Martin
