If not, it would only be a consequence of no definitive clear spec existing. The logic around rule ordering, completion of meta rules, and shortcircuiting is mind-numbingly subtle. If there is a clear unified description of how it has worked in the past, I cannot find it. My sense from the 3-year odyssey that was Bug 7735 is that we've never worked out a complete flowchart or state diagram that covers the whole realm of possible situations. I wouldn't even bet on the existing relevant documentation spread around the project being 100% internally self-consistent. -- Bill Cole b...@scconsult.com or billc...@apache.org (AKA @grumpybozo and many *@billmail.scconsult.com addresses) Not Currently Available For Hire
