I'd vote for CSS style naming. Anyone else care? For the names, I'd have: xmlhttp (maybe xml-http)? internal-frames trinidad-partial-rendering

Currently we have the internal capability: -adfinternal-partialRendering How about we replaces these with three public capability: xmlhttp (true/false) iframes (true/false) trinidad-partialRendering (true/false) One thing about naming--it seems the capabilities use an odd mix of dashes and camelcase. E.g. I would either expect _adfinternalPartialRendering (Java style) or -adfinternal-partial-rendering (CSS style). If we decide to change this, then the last property would be trinidadPartialRendering or trinidad-partial-rendering Take care, Joey On 8/14/06, Adam Winer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hrm, good point.
