Since we seem to have reached a stale mate, let me propose a new set of guidelines with respect to introduction of new attributes which just rename an existing one. * Do not deprecate existing attribute names just for the sake of aesthetics when adding new names meant to represent existing attribute names. +1 from me. * Each alaised name should live in harmony with its 'aliasees'. +1 from me. * We call it a feature and let the user pick the attribute name that most suits her taste. +1 from me. * We undeprecate all the renamings we have done so far. +1 from me. * Let us face it: Given our track record, 6 months down the line, we are going to come up with a newer, aesthetically better standard. So all we can do now is We do not commit any name we don't see as the *current* naming standard. +1 from me. > > Pete > Cheers, Magesh ********************************************** * Etc.: A sign to make others believe that * * you know more than you actually do. * ********************************************** -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
