It is naieve to think that a choice of providers will have identical functionality. They might be _similar_ overall, and have some basic functions that are exactly the same... But the primary reason to pick one API over another is the functions they offer that are unique. Freedom means more than a choice of lords. -- Regards, Dave - Sent via the backstage.bbc.co.uk discussion group.
