Thanks to Jaque and Lynn for the clarifications. I knew about the server-side revServer stack limitation but it's good to know that revlets support stacks, sub-stacks and multiple stacks.
This corrects a misunderstanding I have held from early in my learning curve, when an add-on developer led me to believe that revlets didn't support stacks. :-(( Still, I'm more than happy to be corrected on this, if it means I can start creating :-) So, how does one tell whether an add-on uses/requires the externals specification?
